Must be the clothes or the shoes I wear,
Should`ve got no tattoo or should`ve cut my hair.
Straightened up, followed norms & rules,
Never look like them tough boys who dropped out of school
Cos that didn`t get me nowhere
Where the fast money`s at.
A hard days work don`t pay no my way,
Ain`t it hard when you discover that.
Got a job like my old man,
He was at the railroad, I chose the planes.
For a year or two and then I had enough,
My tender back found that way too rough
Cos that didn`t get me nowhere
Where the fast money`s at.
A hard days work don`t pay no my way,
Ain`t it hard, but you are not alone - alone
There are so many of us who work hard only to satisfy the stockmarket brokers.
Oh yes! Oh yes! They`re keeping us out of money!
