Lyrics: Janet Devlin/Jack Savoretti
Music: Janet Devlin/Jack Savoretti
(Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
Twenty-four seven, three sixty five working)
Coffee cup
Watching the hands of the clock
Holding me locked up
Waiting for the sun to rise
Red light
Caught between day and night
Can someone help me win this fight
Against the Monday morning blues
I'm tired of walking in these shoes
Running in a rat race
Always in the right place, at the wrong time
Working for the man
Living for the weekend
Struggling to pretend, this is alright
Working for the man
It's not working out for me
Is it working out for you?
Working for the man
Deadlines
Living on borrowed time
Not enough hours to dream these dreams of mine
They wonβt even let me try
Hard life
But I ainβt living at all
I find myself trapped behind these four walls
In the Monday morning blues
I'm tired of walking in these shoes
Running in a rat race
Always in the right place, at the wrong time
Working for the man
Living for the weekend
Struggling to pretend, this is alright
Working for the man
It's not working out for me
Is it working out for you?
Working for the man
(Day and night, working
Night and day, working for the man
All year long, working
Twenty-four seven, three sixty five working)
Running in a rat race
Always in the right place, at the wrong time
Working for the man
Living for the weekend
Struggling to pretend, this is alright
Working for the man
It's not working out for me
Is it working out for you?
Working for the man
It donβt matter, the colour of your collar
If you barely make a nickel but your boss got a billion dollar penthouse
A net worth that you canβt pronounce Iβm begging for a recount
Looking at my bank account
Not enough for Netflix and working like a dog is it working?
(Working out for you?)
(Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, just working
Twenty-four seven, three sixty five working)
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, just working
Twenty-four seven, three sixty five working
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
Twenty-four seven, three sixty five working
