Workin' for a Livin'
Some days won't end ever and some days pass on by
I'll be workin' here forever at least until I die
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise and know damn well I won't
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
(Yeah, I'm workin' for a livin', yeah)
Hey, I'm not complaining 'cause I really need the work
Hittin' up my buddy's got me feelin' like a jerk
Hundred dollar car note, 200 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 workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Oh-oh-oh, I'm workin' (workin' for a livin')
Yeah, I'm takin' what they givin' (takin' what they givin')
Guess I'm takin' what they givin', oh yeah (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Workin')
(Workin')
Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight
Walkin' on the streets, it's really all the same
Sellin' souls, rock 'n' roll, any other day
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin' (whoa)
Alright
Always workin'
I'm workin' for a livin', mmm
I'm workin' for a livin', yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said I'm workin', yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll be workin' here forever at least until I die
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise and know damn well I won't
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
(Yeah, I'm workin' for a livin', yeah)
Hey, I'm not complaining 'cause I really need the work
Hittin' up my buddy's got me feelin' like a jerk

Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm takin' what they givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Oh-oh-oh, I'm workin' (workin' for a livin')
Yeah, I'm takin' what they givin' (takin' what they givin')
