| My old stomping ground, it’s kinda funny
|
| You gotta break your back to make a little money on your own
|
| Do this, shut up, pipe down
|
| The works hard in a working man’s town
|
| We got a problem here, they find it funny
|
| 'Cos most of us have never heard of milk and honey
|
| Prices go up, wages go down
|
| That’s how it works in a working man’s town
|
| I said the work’s hard in a working man’s town
|
| You work your fingers to the bone but it’s never enough
|
| You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough
|
| All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy, and they kick you when you’re down
|
| In a working man’s town
|
| She sells seashells by the seashore
|
| Until they took her fucking house and now she don’t no more
|
| Bedsit, kicked out, two up, two down
|
| That’s how it works in a working man’s town
|
| You got another job to make ends meet
|
| But in a month you could be living on the street
|
| Sinking in debt, and you might drown
|
| That’s how it works in a working man’s town
|
| I said the work’s hard in a working man’s town
|
| You work your fingers to the bone but it’s never enough
|
| You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough
|
| All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy, and they kick you when you’re down
|
| In a working man’s town
|
| What’s our destination
|
| When we don’t call the shots?
|
| They put up their wages
|
| And we take all the cuts
|
| The rowers keep on rowing
|
| But no one knows where this ships going
|
| You work your fingers to the bone but it’s never enough
|
| You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough
|
| All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy, and they kick you when you’re down
|
| In a working man’s town |
