lyrics

Every day i go to work, Bossman gonna put me in the dirt.
Tired eyes and worn out hands to meet the company's demands.

Chorus
I'm done workin' for the man
And I've taken the abuse I can stand.
I'll make it on my own worried hands,
I'll grind until I make my stance,
Find a way to make my pay because
I'm done workin' for the man.

Blood and sweat come with long hours
To line the pockets of those in power.
Worn out shoes and tattered clothes,
Their suits tell you all to be told.

Chorus
