Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) — текст песни (styx)

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I`m just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I`m hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I`ve got the power, and I`ve got the will
I`m not a charity case

I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I`m gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can`t refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I`ll take those

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
I`m gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
When happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I`m already there.
