Working Class Cog V1 Clean up the mess that living made Is what I do on Saturday Friday night I work too late For relief from the working week Sunday I just nurse my head From Saturday night’s curse and dread Some alcohol, some drugs then bed Put to sleep the working week Ch I’m a working class cog in the wheels turning round and round A slave that is robbed by the bills that seem greater than the working pay Got to get to work each day, sure could use a holiday V2 And all the money that I had saved I blew away on a working babe Got work, got paid, got drunk, got laid For relief from the working week I get enough to be well fed I get a roof over my head I get a life no I’m not dead I can breath in the working week Ch 2 I’m a working class cog in the wheels rolling round and round A slave that is robbed by the bills that seem greater than the working pay Got to get to work each day, sure could use a rise of pay V3 So I started up a family life Got two kids from my sweet wife But I worked so hard just to survive Missed my kids grow all the week Now the tax - man tries to bleed me dead Mortgage hangs over my head And I just want my family fed And the bills paid for the week Ch 3 I’m a working class cog in the wheels rolling round and round A slave that is robbed by the bills that seem greater than the working pay Got to get to work each day, can’t afford the time to play Mark McCahon Copyrighted © 1998 all rights reserved
