Roy Orbison - Working for the Man Lyrics

Hey, now, you better listen to me ev'ry one of you
We've got a lotta ,lotta, lotta, lotta work to do
Forget about your women and that water can
Today you're working for the man

Well pick up your feet
We've got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
Oh, don't relax, I want elbows and backs

I wanta see ev'ry body from behind
'Cause you're working for the man
Working for the man
You gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

Oh, I'm pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em down
I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pulled to the left, and I heaved to the right
I oughta kill him, but it wouldn't be right

'Cause I'm working for the man
Working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
Working for the man

Well, the boss' daughter sneaks me water
Every time her daddy's down the line
She says, "Meet me tonight, love me right
And everything is gonna be fine"

Yea, I'm gonna be the man
Gonna be the man
I gotta make him a hand
If I'm gonna be the man

So I slave all day without much pay
But I'm just -a-bidin' my time
'Cause the company and the daughter you see
They both gonna be all mine

Working for the man
Working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
Working for the man
