Time was never ending, time was all I had
Now the word means something, it's entered in my head
Working for the man
I'm working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
The clock just keeps on ticking, schedule's already set
If it's overtime you're wanting, then overtime you'll get
Working for the man
I'm working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man, the man
Working for the man
River fell upon you, you lay there on it's bed
Something came to find you
In time it passed, left you instead
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Always looking for something and the search ain't over yet
In the end it may count for nothing
Life is good I'll take all I get
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
I'm working for the man
I'm working for the man
I'm working for the man
I'm working for the man
I'm working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
Working for the man
