Working For The Man (1987 Version)
Hey now
You better listen to me every one of you
We got a lot of lot of lot of lot of work to do
Forget about your women
No, no water can
Today you're working for the man
Well pick up your feet
We got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Now, don't relax
I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind
'Cause you're working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man
Well I'm pickin' em' up
And I'm layin' 'em down
I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pulled to the left, and I heaved to the right
I wanna kill him but it wouldn't be right
'Cause I'm working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man
Well the bossman's daughter sneaks me water
Everytime her daddy's down the line
She says "Meet me tonight,
Love me right
And everyting's gonna be fine."
So I slave all day, without much pay
I'm just abiding my time
'Cause the company and the daughter, you see
They both gonna be all mine
Yeah I'm gonna be the man
Gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand
If you gonna be the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
When you're working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
