Workin' For The Man

Roy Orbison





Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you

We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do

Forget about your woman and that water can

Today were working for the man



well pick up your feet

we've got a deadline to meet

I'm gonna see you make it on time

Don't relax

I want elbows and backs

I wanna see everybody from behind



'Cause your working for the man working for the man

you gotta make him a hand when you're working for the man



Oh well I'm pickin' 'em up and I'm laying 'em down

I believe he's gonna work me into the ground

I pull to the left I heave to the right

I wanna 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

everytime her daddy's down the line

she says meet me tonight love a me right

and everything is gonna be fine

So I slave all day without much pay

'cause I'm just abiding my time

'cause the company and the daughter you see

Their both gonna be all mine



Yah I'm gonna be the man gonna be the man

Gotta make him a hand if I'm gonna be the man



working for the man working for the man

gonna be the man gonna be the man

Gotta make him a hand working for the man
