WORKING
I’ve been working
All my days
Took every job
That came my way
Spent the money that I made
I get old, but oh, I don’t age
I seem to smile
But I feel the rage
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
Teacher told me
To behave
Daddy taught me
To be brave
Supervisor pays my wage
He may work
But oh, he don’t slave
I see the light
But I feel the cage
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
Lately I’ve been pulling doubles
Keeping out of trouble, when I can
Thoughts are running through my brain
Though I try I can’t explain
What makes a man a man…oh…
Love to gamble, hate to shave
Live to ramble, not to bathe
My lady loves me just the same
We make love and oh…they complain
She knows my melodies
I sing her refrains
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
I’ve been working
All my days
Took every job
That came my way
Spent the money that I made
I get old, but oh, I don’t age
I seem to smile
But I feel the rage
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
Teacher told me
To behave
Daddy taught me
To be brave
Supervisor pays my wage
He may work
But oh, he don’t slave
I see the light
But I feel the cage
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
Lately I’ve been pulling doubles
Keeping out of trouble, when I can
Thoughts are running through my brain
Though I try I can’t explain
What makes a man a man…oh…
Love to gamble, hate to shave
Live to ramble, not to bathe
My lady loves me just the same
We make love and oh…they complain
She knows my melodies
I sing her refrains
And I bow and scrape
No more
Self deprecate
No more
No more will I make
The same mistakes I made before
