Don't harass me if I'm here on time
Another day on the assembly line
Makin' pennies while you're makin' dimes
Lord I pray for something new
Work is steady but the shifts are long
Leave at dusk, comin' in at dawn
At least they let me turn the radio on
Can you play me somethin' good?
I'm tired of second best
Good God I need the rest
Gonna work myself to death this life
My body's killin' me
Good Good I need the sleep
Gonna work just like a dog all night
But all I want for you is a better life
Play my music for a buck on the side
Makin' nothin' but you know that I tried
Go to sleep eatin' nothin' but pride
Lord I pray for somethin' new
I'm tired of second best
Good God I need the rest
Gonna work myself to death this life
My body's killin' me
Good God I need the sleep
Gonna work just like a dog all night
But all I want for you is a better life
I'm tired of second best
Good God I need the rest
Gonna work myself to death this life
My body's killin' me
Good God I need the sleep
Gonna work just like a dog all night
But all I want for you
All I want is you
Oh, all I want for you is a better life
