Working For The Man (1987 Version) Songtext

Hey now You better listen to me every one of you We got a lot of lot of lot of lot of work to do Forget about your women No, no water can Today you're working for the man Well pick up your feet We got a deadline to meet I'm gonna see you make it on time Now, don't relax I want elbows and backs I wanna see everybody from behind 'Cause you're working for the man Working for the man Gotta make him a hand When you're working for the man Well I'm pickin' em' up And I'm layin' 'em down I believe he's gonna work me into the ground I pulled to the left, and I heaved 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 bossman's daughter sneaks me water Everytime her daddy's down the line She says "Meet me tonight, Love me right And everyting's gonna be fine." So I slave all day, without much pay I'm just abiding my time 'Cause the company and the daughter, you see They both gonna be all mine Yeah I'm gonna be the man Gonna be the man Gotta make him a hand If you gonna be the man Working for the man Working for the man Gotta make him a hand When you're working for the man Working for the man Working for the man
