well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
and i keep on working till the work is all done
but a voice in my head keeps
ticking away
as the sweat's hosed down from yet another day
well he works hard
and he lives hard
and he breaks his back
without nothing to gain
while the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
all day (you work and you work and you work
and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one
decision
well i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand
is that what it takes to make you understand?
that it's something
you read, not something you meant
to be slaving away without a shred of integrity
he worked hard
and he lived hard
and he
broke his back without nothing to say
while the man in control was just laughing away
all day (you work and you work and you
work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one
decision
was it something you read?
was it something you meant?
was it something you said?
or was it heaven
sent?
all day (you work and you work and you work and)
in life, there's just one transition
all day (you work and you work
and you work and)
in life, there's just one decision
