We're All Working For The Man

We're all struggling to get by,

to do our best 

do what we perceive as right but feel oppressed,

depressed,

working for the man.

We get up, 

we go to work,

to provide for our families like some jerk

in a winters murck,

working for the man.

Some days are bad

some days are better

selling, making, typing a letter

fightin' off the debtor,

working for the man.

Stuck in endless queues 

week after week

cars and buses and the people we seek

turn the other cheek,

you're workin' for the man.

Spinning the plates,

juggling the balls,

puttin' food on the table for us all,

Don't you worry about the man

He's working like you are

the best he can,

creating a space for you to survive

the man is helping you stay alive!

So we're all struggling to get by,

to do our best 

do what we perceive as right but feel oppressed,

depressed,

we're all working for the man.
