Working For The Man |
There was a whole lot of money, he said I’d soon be earning |
There was a whole lot of papers that I didn’t understand |
There was a whole lot of talk about keeping some beacon burnin' |
And the next thing I knew I was working for the man |
It took a whole lot of shovin' to keep that motor turning |
It took a whole lot of breaking my back 'til I could hardly stand |
It took a whole lot of keeping that midnight candle burning |
That’s the lesson you learn when you working for the man |
Working for the man you know exactly where you stand |
Last in line and working for the man |
I did a whole of thinking how to get them tables turning |
I did a whole lot of acting like I’m doing the best I can |
I did a whole lot of biting my tongue just to keep on learning |
That’s the lesson you learn when you working for the man |
Working for the man you know exactly where you stand |
Last in line and working for that man |
I got a whole lot to show for it since the day I started |
I got lines on my faces, I got blisters on my hand |
I got debts to the company, but I don’t get down hearted |
I still got the privilege working for the man |
I still got the privilege working for the man |
Working, working, working, working |
