The Man

Hey we work in the morning light Work is done and we sleep at night So we end where we began Spend our time workin' for the man Work is hard and the days are long We take our time and we sing our songs So we do all that we can Tryin' to get out from under the man We all know our wrong from right Hey, we know it in our veins All your riches come from strife We don't want to ride that train All your silver comes with chains We won't be taken for a ride It's up to us to keep our pride And now you know we understand Sometimes, you got to stand up to the man We all know our wrong from right Hey, we know it in our veins All your riches come from strife We don't want to ride that train Haulin' your ill-gotten gains All your silver comes with chains
