Well, I see you standin' there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do, you wanna leave it up to you

Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?
Tryin' to run the town, always tryin' to put us down

Well, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us so uptight?

Well, you say you've been tryin'
You know that you're lyin'
I think you need some groovin'; who do you think you're foolin' now?

Well, you better start changin'
Your life needs rearrangin'
You better do some talkin', or you better do some walkin' now

Yeah, you think that you're right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us so uptight?

I know what you're doing
All that you been doin' wrong
I don't know what you're feelin'
Oh, but you been feelin' long

Well, you think that you're right
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us so uptight?

I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

Chorus
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am

I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here

Chorus

Well they call me the working man
I guess that's what I am
