Workin’ for a Workin’ Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stand in line to get your brand new blues
How you gonna win when we were born to lose?
The last man I saw standing
He could barely stand at all
I might ease out into the ether
Before anybody knows I'm gone

[Chorus]
This bait and switch, it's a son of a b*tch
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
I got to shuck and jive just to even survive
It ain't workin' for a workin' man

[Verse 2]
Here we go again, it's the same damn thing
Everything they give is on the end of a string
I want the biggest side of the wishbone
All I got is already gone
I need a little good with the bad now, brother
You can't get no blood from a stone

[Chorus]
This bait and switch, it's a son of a b*tch
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
I got to shuck and jive just to even survive
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
[Chorus]
This bait and switch, it's a son of a b*tch
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
I got to shuck and jive just to even survive
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
Yeah, this bait and switch, it's a son of a b*tch
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
Feeling shot at and missed or maybe sh*t at and hit
It ain't workin' for a workin' man
