Lyrics

Working every day into that burning sun
And yet I just can't get no pay at all (No-no)
Working so hard with no food to eat
Nor no clothes to cover my skin (No-no)
They say we're free from captivity
But we are still in slavery
They remove the chain, but they use us with reins
Tell me why it got to be this way
Working every day into that burning sun
And I just can't get no pay at all (No-no)
Working so hard with no food to eat, no
Nor no clothes to cover my skin (No-no)
Oh no, no-no-no-no, no-no, no-no-no-no, oh no
They say we're free from captivity
But we are still in slavery (Yes)
They remove the chain, but they use us with reins
Tell me why it got to be this way (Woah)
Working every day into that burning sun (Yes)
And I just can't get no pay at all (No-no)
Working so hard with no food to eat, no
Nor no clothes to cover my skin (Oh yeah)
Working every day (Oh yeah, oh-oh)
In the burning sun (Lord, oh-oh, oh yes)
I'm working just like a slave
And week-end I can't get no pay
Only the bosses (Woah-oh), get their pay (Oh yes, oh-oh)
