Workin' For The Man |
| I been workin' all my life tryin' to beat the company clock |
| In a Louisiana gravel pit, breakin' up rock |
| My baby’s had enough, she’s packin' up and leavin' |
| She says you’re workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Jackhammer Jimmy said to Shallowwater Slim |
| «If you see Doctor Danny then you better talk to him |
| Life’s too short to be sittin' 'round grievin'» |
| You’re workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Breakin' up rock, breakin' up rock |
| Working for the man on the company clock |
| Breakin' up rock, got everyone belivin' |
| You’re workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| My daddy tried to tell me when I was just a kid |
| Don’t work in the pit like your poor ol' daddy did |
| Some days you sit and wonder what it is that you’re achievin' |
| You’re workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
| Breakin' up rock, breakin' up rock |
| Working for the man on the company clock |
| Breakin' up rock, got everyone belivin' |
| You’re workin' for the man and you ain’t breakin' even |
