[Intro]
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
24/7, 365 working
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Deadlines
Living on borrowed time
Not enough hours to dream these dreams of mine
They won’t even let me try
High life
But I ain’t living at all
I find myself trapped behind these four walls
In the Monday morning blues
I'm tired of walking in these shoes
[Chorus]
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
All year long, working
24/7, 365 working
[Chorus]
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 don’t 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 can’t pronounce I’m 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?]
[Outro]
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
24/7, 365 working
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
24/7, 365 working
Day and night, working
Night and day, working
All year long, working
24/7, 365 working
