Lyrics
Hey now, you better listen to me every one of you
We got a lotta, lotta, lotta, lotta work to do
Forget about your woman and that water can
Today you're working for the man
Oh 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
Oh, working for the man
So, I'm picking '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 wanna 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
When you're working for the man
Oh well, the bossman's daughter sneaks 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
'Cause I'm just abiding 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
I'm gonna make him my hand
Oh, if I'm gonna be the man
Hey, I'm working for the man
Oh, working for the man
I'm gonna make him my hand
I'm working for the man
