Stand in line to get your brand new blues

How you gonna win when we were born to lose

The last man I saw standing

He could barely stand at all

I might ease out into the ether

Before anybody knows I'm gone.

This bait and switch it's a son of a bitch

It ain't workin' for a workin' man

I got to shuck and jive just to even survive

It ain't workin' for a workin' man.

Here we go again it's the same damn thing

Everything they give is on the end of a string

I want the biggest side of the wishbone

All I got is already gone

I need a little good with the bad now brother

You can't get no blood from a stone.

This bait and switch it's a son of a bitch

It ain't workin' for a workin' man

I got to shuck and jive just to even survive

It ain't workin' for a workin' man.

Feeling shot at and missed

Or maybe shit at and hit

It ain't workin' for a workin' man.
