I guess it's safe to say,
The sun will come up today
It rises in the east,
It'll rest its head in the west again
Sorry if I find it hard,
To wake up impressed
I psych myself up,
To work someone else's fields
Until my hands fall off,
My back is worked raw
And I said, "Who am I working for?"
I said, "Who am I working for?"
I guess it's safe to say,
The moon will come out tonight
It'll light my way home,
And guide my way back to bed again
Where I can rest my weary bones,
Lay my head down, and catch my breath,
I'll do this once again
And I said, "Who am I working for?"
I said, "Who am I working for?"
I gave you the best years of my life,
For a small wage
And a drinking problem that's grown old and heavy
But I won't ask,
These questions that you hate
May I have,
A holiday?
I guess it's safe to say,
The clouds will roll in today
And they'll bring with them the rain,
To wash my dirty face
And cleanse my trouble soul,
I'll find salvation again
And I said, "Who am I working for?"
I said, "Who am I working for?"
I said, "Who am I working for?"
I said, "Who am I working for?"
