Your song is "What About Me." The song was a hit for an Australian
group called Moving Pictures in 1982. A cover version by Shannon Noll
made the charts in 2004.
Here's an excerpt of the lyrics:
"Well, there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
We never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to ground
But he gets to his feet and he says...
What about me,
It isn't fair
I've had enough, now I want my share,
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give..."

"Moving Pictures was the name of a rock music group formed in Sydney,
Australia in the early 1980s... The band had several hit singles and
albums in their native Australia, including the single What About Me,
which remained at number one for two months in 1982. Its success led
them to America where it also became a minor hit, reaching number 29
on the Billboard singles chart... What About Me returned to the top of
the Australian music charts in early 2004, as a virtually identical
cover version by Australian Idol runner up Shannon Noll."

"[Shannon] Noll's... debut single 'What About Me' (a cover of the song
by Moving Pictures) was released on 5 January 2004. The video was
entirely filmed in his hometown of Condobolin and features most of the
townspeople in the town square in one scene. His debut album That's
What I'm Talking About was released in February 2004 and was certified
multi-platinum by July 2004... In October 2004, Noll became the first
Australian Idol contestant to achieve success outside of Australia
when his single 'What About Me' reached number two in Ireland."
