I'm here trying to make a living, I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Could 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
Who's gonna work for the working man, hurt for the working man?
Get your hands in the dirt, who's gonna work off 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
Empty pockets full of worry
I had to get two jobs, and it was hard enough just getting by
But 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 gotta look my family in the eye
Day after day, night after night
Who's gonna work for the working man, hurt for the working man?
Get your hands in the dirt, who's gonna work off 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 screams
Can you hear me?
Who's gonna work for the working man, hurt for the working man?
Get your hands in the dirt, who's gonna work off 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
Never getting back what I'm giving
Could 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
Who's gonna work for the working man, hurt for the working man?
