(paul cotton)
Well i'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days i don't mind givin' in
You get but one chance to go 'round
And make the most of what i found
I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
I've been out of work for such a long long time
Every day down in the factory line
Gettin' on some kind, any kind of good news
Only knowin' there's nothin' left to lose
You get but one chance to go round
And make the most of what i found
I get to work on time every single day
Till the robot takes my job away
You never get out of this worried life
I do what i can while i'm markin' time
I bet,walk away i'm on sacred ground
Long long way from this factory sound
I'm standing in the fire again
Everybody knows i'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days i don't mind givin' in
I'm standing in the fire again
I'm standing in the fire again
