Whoa whoa, takin' what they givin'
Whoa whoa whoa
I'm takin' what they're givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin'
I get a check on Friday, but it's all ready spent
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't
Whoa whoa, workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight
(Workin')
I'm takin' what they're givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
Hittin' up my buddy's got me feelin' like a jerk
Workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Whoa whoa, workin' for a livin'
I'm takin' what they're givin' 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin'
Walkin' on the streets it's really all the same
Sellin' souls, rock 'n' roll, any other day
(Workin')
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Hey I'm not complainin' 'cause I really need the work
(Workin')
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent
Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
