Working Man's Town

My old stomping ground, it's kinda funny

You gotta break your back to make a little money on your own

Do this, shut up, pipe down

The works hard in a working man's town

We got a problem here, they find it funny

'Cause most of us have never heard of milk and honey

Prices go up, wages go down

That's how it works in a working man's town

I said the work's hard in a working man's town

You work your fingers to the bone but it's never enough

You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough

All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy

And they kick you when you're down

In a working man's town

She sells seashells by the seashore

Until they took her fucking house and now she don't no more

Bedsit, kicked out, two up, two down

That's how it works in a working man's town

You got another job to make ends meet

But in a month you could be living on the street

Sinking in debt, and you might drown

That's how it works in a working man's town

I said the work's hard in a working man's town

You work your fingers to the bone but it's never enough

You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough

All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy

And they kick you when you're down

In a working man's town

What's our destination

When we don't call the shots?

They put up their wages

And we take all the cuts

The rowers keep on rowing

But no one knows where this ships going

You work your fingers to the bone but it's never enough

You count your pennies in a jar when the going gets tough

All work and no play makes Jack an angry boy

And they kick you when you're down

In a working man's town
