Standing in the Fire Songtext
von Poco

Well, I′m standing in the fire again
Everybody knows I'm a working man
And in some ways it′s either sink or swim
These days I don't mind giving in

You get but one chance to go around
And make the most of what I found
I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows I′m a working man

I′ve been out of work for such a long, long time
Every day down in the factory line
Waiting on some kind, any kind of good news
Holding on when there's nothing left to lose

You get but one chance to go around
And make the most of what I found
I get to work on time every single day
′Til a robot takes my job away


You never get out of this world alive
I do what I can while I'm marking time
I better walk away, I′m on sacred ground
A long, long way from this factory sound

Well, I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows I′m a working man
And in some ways it's either sink or swim
These days I don't mind giving in

I′m standing in the fire again
I′m standing in the fire again
(Standing in the fire again)

Everybody knows I'm a working man, a working man
(Standing in the fire again)
(Standing, standing in the fire again)

Everybody knows I′m a working man, oh
(Standing, standing in the fire again)
(Standing in the fire again)
Well, I'm standing in the fire again
(Standing, standing in the fire again)
(Well, I′m standing)
(Standing in the fire again)
(Well, I'm standing)
(Standing in the fire again)
