I Am The Working Man lyrics

That`s what I`m talkin` about.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.



I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower,

Cleanin` out gutters, doin` other people`s chores.

After school. weekends an` holidays.

Yeah, ever since then, all I`ve known,

Is my nose on fire from the grindstone,

A lifetime built on an hourly wage.

Muscled arms an` calloused hands:

I am the workin` man.



The sun comes up, the sun goes down,

Gotta keep this world turnin` `round.

Blazin` hot, freezin` cold:

No matter what, it still goes on.

Pushin`, pullin`, pourin`, mixin`,

Somebody`s gotta fix it:

I am the workin` man,

Yes, I am.



Now I`ve laid asphalt an` I`ve laid brick:

I`ve hung sheet, rock and shovelled sh**,

Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart.

Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street,

So show some respect when you look at me.

I`m just out here tryin` to do my part.

An` I sleep good when the day comes to an end,

`Cause I am the workin` man.



The sun comes up, the sun goes down,

Gotta keep this world turnin` `round.

Blazin` hot, freezin` cold:

No matter what, it still goes on.

Pushin`, pullin`, pourin`, mixin`,

Somebody`s gotta fix it:

I am the workin` man.



I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench,

Build a tower, dig a ditch,

Drive a truck that shakes the earth,

Somebody`s gotta do the dirty work.



The sun comes up, the sun goes down,

Gotta keep this world turnin` `round.

Blazin` hot, freezin` cold:

No matter what, it still goes on.

Pushin`, pullin`, pourin`, mixin`,

Somebody`s gotta fix it:

I am...

I am the workin` man.



Yes I am,

Oh. the workin` man.
