well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun and i
keep on working till the work is all done but a voice
in my head keeps ticking away as the sweat's hosed
down from yet another day well he works hard and he
lives hard and he breaks his back without nothing to
gain while the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
all day (you work and you work and you work and) in life,
there's just one transition all day (you work and you work
and you work and) in life, there's just one decision well
i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand is that what
it takes to make you understand? that it's something you read,
not something you meant to be slaving away without a shred of
integrity he worked hard and he lived hard and he broke his back
without nothing to say while the man in control was just
laughing away all day (you work and you work and you work and) in
life, there's just one transition all day (you work and you work
and you work and) in life, there's just one decision was it
something you read?
was it something you meant?
was it something you said?
or was it heaven sent?
all day (you work and you work and you work and) in life,
there's just one transition all day
(you work and you work and you work and) in life,
there's just one decision
