working for the man

Janet Devlin

Day and night workin'
Night and day workin'
All day long workin'
24 7 365 Workin'
Coffee cup
Watching the hands of the clock
Holding me locked up
Waiting for the sun to rise
Red light
Caught between day and night
Can someone help me win this fight
Against the mundane morning blues
I'm tired of walking in these shoes

Running in a rat race
Always in the right place
At the wrong time
Working for the man
Living for the weekend
Struggling to pretend
This is alright
Working for the man
It's not working out for me
Is it working out for you?
Working for the man

Deadlines
Living on borrowed time
Not enough hours to dream
These dreams of mine
They won't even let me try
High life
But I aint livin' at all
I find myself trapped behind
These four walls
In the mundane morning blues
I'm tired of walking in these shoes

Running in a rat race
Always in the right place
At the wrong time
Working for the man
Living for the weekend
Struggling to pretend
This is alright
Working for the man
It's not working out for me
Is it working out for you?
