Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you
We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do
Forget about your woman and that water can
Today you're working for the man

Well pick up your feetWe've got a deadline to meet
I'm gonna see you make it on time
oh don't relax I want elbows and backs
I wanna see everybody from behind

'Cause your working for the man
Eh working for the man
You gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

So I'm pickin' 'em up and I'm laying 'em down
I believe he's gonna work me into the ground
I pull to the left  I heave to the right
I wanna kill him but it wouldn't be right

'Cause I'm working for the man
Eh working for the man
I gotta make him a hand
A working for the man

Well the boss man's daughter  sneaks me water
Everytime her daddy's down the line
She says meet me tonight love a me right
And everything is gonna be fine

So I slave all day without much pay
'For I'm just abiding my time
'Cause the company  and the daughter you see
Their both gonna be all mine

Yah I'm gonna be the man 
I'm gonna be the man
Gotta make him a hand
If I'm gonna be the man

Working for the man
Working for the man
Gotta make him a hand
Working for the man.....
