(Verse 1)
Well, I’ve been workin’ two jobs, just to make ends meet,
But the cost of livin’s risin’, and we’re barely on our feet.
Inflation’s up to 3.7, but it feels like a hundred and ten,
And the folks in the White House, they just don’t seem to care.

(Chorus)
Thanks for nothin’, while we’re out here strugglin’,
Can’t afford the bread, can’t afford the muffin’.
While you’re up there laughin’, we’re down here sufferin’,
Thanks for nothin’, thanks for nothin’.

(Verse 2)
I see my kids’ faces, their eyes filled with despair,
‘Cause their daddy can’t afford, to buy ’em new clothes to wear.
The American dream’s fadin’, like an old worn-out pair of jeans,
And the White House is silent, like it’s lost in some dream.

(Chorus)
Thanks for nothin’, while we’re out here hustlin’,
Can’t afford the milk, can’t afford the puddin’.
While you’re up there smilin’, we’re down here cryin’,
Thanks for nothin’, thanks for nothin’.

(Bridge)
I’m not askin’ for a handout, just a fair shake,
But it seems like the rich get richer, while we’re left with heartache.
Inflation’s a monster, that’s eatin’ us alive,
And it feels like we’re drownin’, while you’re takin’ a dive.

(Chorus)
Thanks for nothin’, while we’re out here fightin’,
Can’t afford the heat, can’t afford the lightnin’.
While you’re up there glowin’, we’re down here dyin’,
Thanks for nothin’, thanks for nothin’.

(Outro)
So here’s to the hard workers, the backbone of this land,
Who keep on pushin’, even when they can barely stand.
And to the White House, I hope you hear this song,
‘Cause we’re out here waitin’, and we’ve been waitin’ too long.

(Chorus)
Thanks for nothin’, while we’re out here bleedin’,
Can’t afford the hope, can’t afford the dreamin’.
While you’re up there restin’, we’re down here screamin’,
Thanks for nothin’, thanks for nothin’.
