[Verse 1]
Somedays won t end ever and somedays pass on by,
I ll be working here forever, at least until I die.
Damned if you do, damned if you don t
I m supposed to get a raise this week, you know damn well I won t.
[Chorus]
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin , livin and a-workin
N.C.
I m taking what they re giving cause I m working for a livin .
[Instrumental Break] (half of verse)
[Verse 2]
Hey, I m not complaining cause I really need the work
But hitting up my buddy s got me feeling like a jerk
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent.
I get a check on Friday, but it s already spent.
[Chorus]
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin , livin and a-workin
N.C.
I m taking what they re giving cause I m working for a livin .
[Bridge]
Ooh, Ooh, Workin for a livin
Ooh, Ooh, taking what they re giving
Ooh, Ooh, Workin for a livin
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
[Break] (Verse + Chorus)
[Verse 3]
Busboy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junkie, winner of the fight
Walking on the streets, it s really all the same
Selling souls, rock n roll, any other game
[Chorus]
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin (workin )
Workin for a livin , livin and a-workin
I m taking what they re giving cause I m working for a livin .
Workin for a livin , livin and a-workin
I m taking what they re giving cause I m working for a livin .
Workin for a livin , livin and a-workin
N.C.
Whoa!
