At the end of the day you re another day older
And that s all you can say for the life of the poor
It s a struggle, it s a war
And there s nothing that anyone s giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.
/
At the end of the day you re another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn t keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don t hear the little ones crying
And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!
At the end of the day there s another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that ll break any second
There s a hunger in the land
There s a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There s gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the day!
/
At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
/
Sitting flat on your butt doesn t buy any bread
There are children back at home
And the children have got to be fed
And you re lucky to be in a job
And in a bed!
And we re counting our blessings!
At the end of the day it s another day over
With enough in your pocket to last for a week
Pay the landlord, pay the shop
Keep on grafting as long as you re able
Keep on grafting till you drop
Or it s back to the crumbs off the table
Well you ve got to pay your way
At the end of the day!
