"THE WORKING MAN"

WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE ON THE SIDEWALKS
CARRYING THOSE PICKET SIGNS
HAND ARE DIRTY, FACES WORRIED
FOR THEY WON'T EVEN GET A DIME

DO WE ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN
GOD PLEASE HELP THE WORKING MAN

'CAUSE THEY CAN FEEL THE HEAT
WHEN THEY TAKE A STAND
EVERY WOMEN AND EVERY MAN
THEY WANT BETTER PAY, SOME BENEFITS & OVERTIME
GOTTA HAVE THAT INSURANCE
FOR THEIR PIECE OF MIND, YEAH

PEOPLE WORRY ALMOST EVERYDAY
MAD A LAY OFF MIGHT COME THEIR WAY
'CAUSE THEY CAN FEEL THE HEAT
WHEN THEY TAKE A STAND
EVERY WOMEN AND EVERY MAN
THEY WANT BETTER PAY, SOME BENEFITS & OVERTIME
GOTTA HAVE THAT INSURANCE
FOR THEIR PIECE OF MIND

DO WE ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN
GOD PLEASE HELP THE WORKING MAN
DO WE ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN
GOD PLEASE HELP THE WORKING MAN

--instrumental break--

WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE STREETS
BEGGING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT
HOLDING OUT THEIR HANDS,
DOING WHAT THEY CAN
HOPING SOMEDAY THEY CAN TAKE THEIR STAND

DO WE ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN
GOD PLEASE HELP THE WORKING MAN (repeat 4x)
