Working for the Man Songtext
von Mental as Anything

Hey now, you′d better listen to me, every one of you
We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do
Forget about your women & that water can
Today you're workin′ for the man Well pick up your feet, we've got a deadline to meet
I wanna see you make it on time
Oh don't relax, I want elbows & backs
I wanna see everybody from behind ′Cause you′re workin' for the man, workin′ for the man
You gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man So I′m pickin' ′em up & I'm layin' ′em down
I believe he′s gonna work me into the ground
I pull to the left, I heave to the right
I oughta kill him but it wouldn't be right ′Cause I'm workin′ for the man, workin' for the man I gotta make him a hand, workin′ for the man Well the boss' daughter sneaks in deep water
Every time her daddy's down the line
She says &quot
Meet me tonight, love me right& everything is gonna be fine&quot
So I slave all day without much pay
I′m just a-bidin′ my time'Cause the company & the daughter you see
They′re both gonna be all mine Yeah I'm gonna be the man, gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand if I′m gonna be the man
I'm workin′ for the man, workin' for the man
I gotta make him a hand, workin' for the man
