I'm here, trying to make a living And I ain't living just to die Never getting back what I'm giving Wont someone help me, someone justify Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line And there's nothing left, what's on my mind (O-o-oh-o)
Who's gonna work (work!) for the working man? (Work!) For the working man? (Work!) Get the hands in the dirt, who's gonna work all the curse? (Work!) Brother I've been damned (Work!) If I don't raise a hand (Work!) Who's gonna work, work, work for the working man? (Work! Work!) Working man
Empty pockets, full of worries I had to get two jobs and it was hard enough getting by But with the grace of God I'm getting us through But only know that I know how to do That I'm the only one who's gotta look my family in the eye Day after day, night after night (O-o-oh-o)
Who's gonna work for the working man? For the working man? Get the hands in the dirt, who's gonna work all the curse? Brother I've been damned, if I don't raise a hand Who's gonna work, work, work for the working man? Working man Working man Working man
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?
Who's gonna work for the working man? For the working man? Get the hands in the dirt, who's gonna work all the curse? Brother I've been damned, if I don't raise a hand Who's gonna work, work, work for the working man? Working man Working man Working man
These were my friends These were my dreams These were my hopes These are my streets
