Lyrics

Give me a job, give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God, I'm hardly alive My mother and father, my wife and my friends You see them laugh in my face But I've got the power, and I've got the will I'm not a charity case I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye in the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man Make me an offer that I can't refuse Make me respectable, man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not, I'll take those Long nights, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just what I am Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man Keeping my mind on a better life When happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise, can it be all I heard it was? I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall All that to be just what I am Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (You don't understand) Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye to the keyhole If it takes all that to be just who I am Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar Gotta be a blue collar- Gonna be a blue collar man Alright! Believe it
