Come on Party people in the place to be 
relieve some stress.  Put up your feet
Let down your hair and clap to the beat
Let's get this party started on the count of three. 

CHORUS:
Trials and tribulation 
All across the nation
To turn your head 
Is like missing a beat

Wake up from my dream it's 7:45
This alarm alarms wipe sleep from my eye
Got to get ready working from nine to five
Take a shower get dressed hop on the blue line
About to lose my mind, the train cars packed
Running behind schedule working on the track
Hop on the bus can't find a seat
I've been late to work every day of the week

CHORUS

Yo, I paid for the day and I paid for the rain
I paid for the pain and I paid for the hate
I wait for my payday.  To make it away 
From the land of the lakes to the bay of the bank
No train but a plane to the place that I play
My name correlates with the famous to date
I ain't trying to say that I can't get a break
just tired of the trials and tribulations

It's Friday afternoon.  I just got paid
What happens next, time to get laid off
Middle of the day so I decided to take off
didn't like them anyway so I decided to make off
Materials, tools for references.  
Make the example, got the messages
Dock your last pay, see how less it is
Can't feel my pain, like most fetishes
Indictive, insane, repeatitive
smoking in chains, taking sedatives
All sounds the same.  Drinking beverages
Push comes to shove, pulling leverages
Whatever it was, problems you're facing 
Take time to think about the situation
Time after time we live in frustration 
the game of life, trials and tribulations
