Lyrics

When you?re young?having fun
Never wonder
Rent is due?can you come to work on Sunday?
Sacrifice?pay the price?maybe someday
You?ll be fine cuz you?re gonna make it someway

You got no one to blame
If you fail well that?s a shame
It?s just a freedom thing
You?re running for the dollar
Running for the dollar...

So you yearn as you earn
To Be Free From
All the things that have come to be constrictions
Make a plan?take a stand?maybe someday
You?ll be free if you stick to your convictions

You got no one to blame
If you fail well that?s a shame
It?s just a freedom thing
You?re running for the dollar
Running for the dollar
Give easy life a holler
Running for the dollar

You should pursue your passion
It?s the honest way to go
It?s never out of fashion
Don?t I know...Don?t I know...

So, work all day?make your pay
For your Freedom
But be aware of the passing of the seasons
Sacrifice, pay your price, maybe someday
You?ll be fine cuz you?re gonna make it someway..

You got no one to blame
If you fail well that?s a shame
It?s just a freedom thing
You're running for the dollar
Running for the dollar
Give easy life a holler
No chains, no cuffs, no collars
Running for the dollar...
