Well, I swing this hammer from 9 to 5
Been workin' for the man just to stay alive
W-O-R-K is how I spell workFeel depressed, I miss my family
Maybe if I work long then I'll feel just fine
Haven't smoked in a week
My back is kinda tweaked
Give me work, give me pride, give me loads of overtimeWork, work, work, work, work, work, workWell, I work all day and drink all night
We fight all morning 'til we get it right
Then, we go to school to be a journeymanMy mother works, my father works
My brother works and now I work
That's all I do is work, work, work, work, workLots of pride I get from work
Dad says real men have to work
A union man gets lots of pride from workIn the bailing fields or on the farm
I've only got a tan on half of my arm
I work real quick when you hit me with a whip
Give me work, give me pride, give me loads of overtimeWork, work, work, work, work, work, workWell, I work all day and drink all night
We fight all morning 'til we get it right
Then, we go to school to be a journeymanMy mother works, my father works
My brother works and now I work
I love to work, work, work, work, work, workAmerica
A country carried on the back of the working man
A man with fire in his eyes and steel in his belly
A man who could build anything
Like a chair or a table, or he can fix a car, or he can fix a radiator
Without him you wouldn't be able to drive to work
And then you wouldn't be able to work
And no one would go to work 'causeWork, work, work, work, work, work, workWell, I work all day and drink all night
We fight all morning 'til we get it right
Then, we go to school to be a journeymanMy mother works, my father works
My brother works and now I work
I love to work, work, work, work, work, work
