Lyrics

Every morning, the rooster
Flaps his wings and begins to crow
Cos he's telling the working man
"Hey, come on, boys, it's time to go"
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man, ah, no
I keep on working but I never win
An extra penny for my future, no, whoa, no
In half-past seven in factories
Using all of that muscle and brain
Giving everything that we have
Hey, all for someone else's gain
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man, oh
I keep on working but I never win
An extra penny for my future, no, whoa, no
Suffers and your depressions
If you side with your bosses somewhere
If he tells you he wants a share
You do it but with one of your laws
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man
God help the working man, oh no no
I keep on working but I never win
An extra penny for my future, no, whoa, no
