I'm up up outa bed; I fight every day
I've got to stay together or I'll never get paid
Forget the crowded bus on the way downtown
So damn tired, you know it's draggin' me down
Ohh, Well I'm not sayin' it's over and done
I know it's never easy when you're under the gun
It won't do; Can't take it no more!
You know what I'm sayin', I've said it before.
It's like
"working on a chain gang"
I've been workin' all day
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
No, you can't do this
No, you can't do that
"Workin' on a chain gang"
I've been workin' all day
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
Uhh ohh ya
No you can't do that
Everybody's looking for the chance to be free
I'm searchin' for the answer
Searchin' for the key
I'm locked up in chains for the whole world to see
You never get away
No, they never let you be
Oh, well I'm not sayin' it's over and done
I know it's never easy when you're under the gun
It won't do; Can't take it no more
I say what the hell! I say it once more!
It's like
"working on a chain gang"
I've been workin' all day
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
No, you can't do this
No, you can't do that
"Workin' on a chain gang"
Uhh ohh ya
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
No, you can't do this
No, you can't do that
"Workin' on a chain gang"
"heave!.....ho!"
I've been workin' all day
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
No, you can't do this
No, you can't do that
"Workin' on a chain gang"
Oww
I've been workin' all day
Work my fingers to the bone
"Workin' on a chain gang"
No, you can't do this
No, you can't do that
Uhhh huh ya
"Workin' on a chain gang"
"Workin' on a chain gang"
