Somedays won't end ever and somedays pass on by,
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise next week, you know damn well I won't.
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.
Hey I'm not complaining 'cause I really need the work
But hitting up my buddy's got me feeling like a jerk
Car payment, insurance, alimony, rent
I get a check on Friday, but it's already spent.
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.
Ooh, Workin' for a livin'
Ooh, taking what they giving
Ooh, Workin' for a livin'
Ooh, ooh
Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junkie, winner of the fight
Walking on the streets its really all the same
NASCAR, rockstar, any other game
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.
Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'.
