ROY ORBISON - Working for The Man lyrics

rate me

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 and that 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

And 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

Believe he's gonna work me into the ground

I pulled to the left and I heaved to the right

I outta 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 boss man's daughter sneaks me water

Every time her daddy's down the line

She says "Meet me tonight, love me right

And every thing'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 it 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

Gotta make him a hand

When you're working for the man
