Working For The Man

Clements-Hull

There was a whole lot of money, he said I'd soon be earning
There was a whole lot of papers that I didn't understand
There was a whole lot of talk about keeping some beacon burnin'
And the next thing I knew I was working for the man

It took a whole lot of shovin' to keep that motor turning
It took a whole lot of breaking my back 'til I could hardly stand
It took a whole lot of keeping that midnight candle burning
That's the lesson you learn when you working for the man

Chorus:
Working for the man you know exactly where you stand
Last in line and working for the man

I did a whole of thinking how to get them tables turning
I did a whole lot of acting like I'm doing the best I can
I did a whole lot of biting my tongue just to keep on learning
That's the lesson you learn when you working for the man

Chorus:
Working for the man you know exactly where you stand
Last in line and working for that man

I got a whole lot to show for it since the day I started
I got lines on my faces, I got blisters on my hand
I got debts to the company, but I don't get down hearted
I still got the privilege working for the man
I still got the privilege working for the man
Working, working, working, working
