I'm here trying to make a living
I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Can someone somewhere help me justify
Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line
And there's nothing left but what's on my mind
Chorus:
Who's gonna work for the working man
Hurt for the working man
Work, get your hands in the
Dirt, whose gonna work off the curse
Work, brother I'll be damned
Work, if I don't raise a hand
Work, who's gonna work work
Work for the working man (Work, work)
Working man (Work)
Empty pockets full of worry
Had to get two jobs
And it was hard enough just getting by
With the grace of God, I'll get us through
I only know what I know how to do
I'm the only one who's got to look
my family in the eye
Day after day
Night after night
Oh Ohh Oh Ohh
chorus
Working man (Work, work)
Working man (Work)
I lost my pension
They took my ID
These were my friends
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
These are my streets
Can you hear me
chorus
Working man (Work, work)
Working man (Work)
These were my friends
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
These are my streets
