That's what I'm talkin' about.
|
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
|
|
I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower,
|
Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores.
|
After school. weekends an' holidays.
|
Yeah, ever since then, all I've known,
|
Is my nose on fire from the grindstone,
|
A lifetime built on an hourly wage.
|
Muscled arms an' calloused hands:
|
I am the workin' man.
|
|
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
|
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
|
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
|
No matter what, it still goes on.
|
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
|
Somebody's gotta fix it:
|
I am the workin' man,
|
Yes, I am.
|
|
Now I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick:
|
I've hung sheet, rock and shovelled sh**,
|
Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart.
|
Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street,
|
So show some respect when you look at me.
|
I'm just out here tryin' to do my part.
|
An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end,
|
'Cause I am the workin' man.
|
|
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
|
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
|
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
|
No matter what, it still goes on.
|
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
|
Somebody's gotta fix it:
|
I am the workin' man.
|
|
I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench,
|
Build a tower, dig a ditch,
|
Drive a truck that shakes the earth,
|
Somebody's gotta do the dirty work.
|
|
The sun comes up, the sun goes down,
|
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.
|
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:
|
No matter what, it still goes on.
|
Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',
|
Somebody's gotta fix it:
|
I am...
|
I am the workin' man.
|
|
Yes I am,
|
Oh. the workin' man.
