Hell On Earth

The place I'm livin' now can't be called home
Have a deadline to get out, it's gone condominium
I can't afford it anyway, I've got too many bills
2 bedrooms what we have right now, we don't need all these frills

A smaller place is what I'll find for my kid and me to live
Half our stuff to charity, I guess is where I'll give
To save enough to move is very difficult right now
Too many other things to pay, but I'll manage it some how

They fired 250 people 2 weeks ago at my job
I wasn't among those canned, damn… guess I'm a lucky slob
Downsizing is what they call it, to cut down on corporate cost
We who remain now have twice the work, so who has really lost

Like a rat in a cage, backed in a corner, is how I feel sometimes
A penalty I'm paying, but I don't recall my crimes
My mom is dead, don' have true friends, I cry alone at night
Other times, I'm so damn mad that I decide to fight

This place I live is not my home, it's really hell on earth
For all we work and save and suffer, I ask what is it worth?
My timeframe, 5 more years, to get us out of here
Costa Rica's where we're goin', no matter who loves or hates me there
