I'm a man<br />
Torn in two<br />
State and nation<br />
I've got to choose<br />
For on these streets<br />
That I spit upon<br />
There's no money in my pocket<br />
No soles on my shoes<br />
Ain't got no religion<br />
But the workingman blues<br />
<br />
Oh I, I've got the workin' man blues<br />
Oh I'm kicking the dirt off my shoes<br />
Devolution workingman blues<br />
<br />
I don't dance<br />
No rich mans tune<br />
I won't play<br />
The poor mans fool<br />
Within these eyes<br />
That you look upon<br />
There is fear mixed with pride<br />
A dangerous device<br />
For talkin' devolution<br />
Talkin' workin'man blues<br />
<br />
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues<br />
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes<br />
Devolution workingman blues<br />
<br />
Devolution workingman blues<br />
<br />
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues<br />
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes<br />
<br />
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues<br />
Oh I'm kickin' the dirt off my shoes<br />
<br />
Oh I, I've got the workingman blues<br />
Oh I, I've got the workingman workingman blues<br />
Devolution workingman blues
