(Kostas)
|
|
All around I hear the sound of money
|
But I ain't got a nickel to my name
|
And everywhere I look I see temptation
|
She stands on every corner and calls my name
|
|
Won't you tell me if you can
|
Cause life's so hard to understand
|
Why's the rich man busy dancing
|
While the poor man pays the band
|
Oh they're billing me for killing me
|
Lord have mercy on the working man
|
|
Uncle Sam's got his hands in my pockets
|
And he helps himself each time he needs a dime
|
Them politicians treat me like a mushroom
|
Cause they feed me bull and keep me in the blind
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Hey St. Peter look down for a minute
|
And see this little man about to drown
|
There's quicksand all around and man I'm in it
|
Please help me up Lord cause I'm going down
|
|
Won't you tell me if you can
|
Cause life's so hard to understand
|
Why's the rich man busy dancing
|
While the poor man pays the band
|
Oh they're billing me for killing me
|
Lord have mercy on the working man
|
|
Won't you tell me if you can
|
Cause life's so hard to understand
|
Why's the fat man busy dancing
|
While the thin man pays the band
|
Oh they're billing me for killing me
|
Lord have mercy on the working man
|
|
Please Lord have mercy on the working man
|
Please Lord have mercy on the working man
|
