working for somebody else
At eight a.m. the alarm bell rings And I shake myself awake Halfway through the kitchen when I ask myself Can there be some kinda mistake 'Cause I'm working on somebody else's time And I'm working for somebody else's dime  I used to have it all but I lost it in the fall Now I'm working for somebody else And the hours are lousy, the boss is a creep But the paycheck sure does help And at five o'clock I'm out like a shot I don't take my workload home  Working for somebody else Working for somebody else Working for somebody else There's no reason to be working for somebody else  Now, listen I had a girl and a car and a house with a yard Now that's all gone with the wind 'Cause here it's nine a.m. and I'm standing in line Just waiting to punch myself in Someday at ten if I haven't come in If they want to find me I'll be  Working for somebody else Working for somebody else Working for somebody else There's no reason to be working for somebody else  Working for somebody else is fine If you need the money and you're so inclined to be Working for somebody else Working for somebody else Working for somebody else There's no reason to be working for somebody else There's no reason to be working for somebody else There's no reason to be working for somebody else  Mmm, mmm, mmm How long must this go on? I been working too hard and too long for too little Seem like every day is just about the same And it don't get any better Lord, Mr. Ford, can I please please please have a day off?
