Working for the Man

Hey now, you better listen to me, every one of you

We got a lotta, lotta, lotta, lotta work to do

Forget about your women and that water can

Today, we're working for the man

Well pick up your feet

We've got a deadline to meet

I'm gonna see you make it on time

Oh, don't relax

I want elbows and backs

I wanna see everybody from behind

'Cause you're working for the man

Working for the man

You gotta make him a hand

Working for the man

So I'm pickin' 'em up, and I'm laying 'em down

I believe he's gonna work me into the ground

I pull to the left, I heave to the right

I oughta kill him, but it wouldn't be right

'Cause I'm working for the man

I'm working for the man

I gotta make him a hand

Working for the man

Well the boss man's daughter sneaks in me water

Every time her daddy's down the line

She says, "Meet me tonight, love me right

And everything is gonna be fine"

So I slave all day without much pay

I'm just biding my time

'Cause the company and the daughter you see

They're both gonna be all mine

Yeah, I'm gonna be the man

I'm gonna be the man

Gotta make him a hand

If I'm gonna be the man

Working for the man

Working for the man

I gotta make him a hand

Working for the man
