Ends Meet -The Nadas Verse- C G Chorus- D C G I perpetuate the lie, and I sit and watch the numbers roll by And I make myself stay, chained to yet another day It's all about trying to make ends meet Staring to you go blind Standing on your own two feet Pushing through the daily grind I've got my nose to the grindstone, I've got my head in the game But I'd rather be somewhere with a pack on my back, finding shelter from the rain And I sit and watch my dog sleep, thinking about man and beast How we're all trying to behave, so we can get a treat It's all about trying to make ends meet Staring to you go blind Standing on your own two feet Pushing through the daily grind You can lead this horse to water, but you can't make me drink And you can saddle up and ride off into the sunset, and find your own kitchen sink And now that we're off the subject, let's get back to the job at hand Just remember it could be worse, it's not like you play in a band It's all about trying to make ends meet Staring to you go blind Standing on your own two feet Pushing through the daily grind
