Working For The Man Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
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 burning
And the next thing I knew I was working for the man
VRS 2:
It took a whole lot of shoving 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're working for the man
HORUS:
Working for the man
You know exactly where you stand
Last in line and working for the man
VRS 3:
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're working for the man
INSTRUMNTL:
HORUS:
Working for the man
You know exactly where you stand
Last in line and working for the man
VRS 4:
I got a whole lot to show for it since the day I started
I got lines on my face, I got blisters on my hand
I got debts to the company, but I don't get downhearted
I still got the privilege, working for the man
I still got the privilege, working for the man
