Workingman

from Never by Michael Psycho

/

lyrics

He's a workingman, an uptight businessman

He's got his medical plan and his 401k

He's got his stock options and his Fannie Mae

And he's gonna have a coronary anyday

And he goes for it

And he never quits

And the boss has a big stick up his ass

And he's got some crucial meetings to go to

And he's constipated almost every day



And he thinks there's too much government

Especially when he's trying to rip people off

Or when he wants to tear up on Mother Earth

Those lawmakers don't know how much that stuff is worth

And he makes bipartisan contributions

So he gets both sides to do him favors

And he lives in a gated community

Where minorities are only seen on TV



And he knows he'll have the boss' job someday

Even though he knows that day is very far away

And the chances of success is very poor

But he keeps trying anyway 'cause he's very well trained

And he wears a suit that he got off the rack

Of the local establishment uniform store

And he sits at his desk waiting for something to do

And he knows he'll have a job 'til he gets downsized

And he's got car payments and he's got bad credit

And his ass is getting big and fatter everyday

And he sold his soul for a salary

When they drop him in the hole he'll finally be free...
