Lyrics

[00:17.20] Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine
[00:25.38] Down on the corner theres a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams
[00:32.32]
[00:33.70] Someones cleanin up the offices, one window burnin in the dark
[00:40.26]
[00:41.82] Somebodys cryin is there any way in hell
[00:46.32] To light a comet from a single spark
[00:50.19] Workin so hard I cant remember much about the freedom I been workin for
[00:58.20] Felt like a prisoner til I looked in your eyes
[01:01.51] And saw a million wide open doors
[01:04.82]
[01:06.32] Ya tell me put a little money away, well every dog will have his day in time
[01:12.90] Well I been slavin like a dog and I got nothin to show ya
[01:18.72] But a collar and a fist fulla nickels and dimes
[01:21.40] I want a piece, a piece of the action, give me a shot at the real thing
[01:29.02] I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
[01:33.02] Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
[01:37.03] Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
[01:39.53] Been livin just like my old man did and neither once of us could get it right
[01:47.40] Punchin in when the day begins and punchin out the local boys at night
[01:55.41] Theres someone leanin on a peelin porch
[02:00.22] And someone leavin on a silver plane
[02:04.15] And I finally know the man Id rather be
[02:08.09] Girl I wont be back to getcha til they know my name
[02:11.77] They hand you a paycheck every week and steal a piece of your soul every day
[02:16.38]
[03:32.79] An I dont need no gold watch in fifty years, baby lets be golden today
[03:44.36]
[03:52.12] Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine
[04:00.06]
[04:01.06] Down on the corner theres a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams
