Working Man Lyrics

Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
So shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
[x2]

Every little bit goes a little of a long way
Life gets hard and I'm headed for the highway home, home
Caught up in the middle of a headache and a heartbreak
Just when I thought I was clear of the mistakes,
No, no oh oh

So tell me, tell me, tell me
What am I to do
I think that this life is darker than the view
So help me, help me, help me
Be a little more like you
When everything is falling
I'm gonna do the things you do

Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
[x2]
Shake it

Everything is serious and everything is fatal
That's what they tell you
And that's how they make you know, know
I'm tired of the books and I'm tired of the tables
Everything is made with the same old labels
No, no oh oh

So tell me, tell me, tell me
What am I to do
I think that this life is darker than the view
So help me, help me, help me
Be a little more like you
When everything is falling
I'm gonna do the things you do

Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
[x2]
Shake it

Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
Been a long time coming for the working man
Shake it, shake it
And we're moving again
When the money is high, we can start to spend
[x4]
Shake it

Every little bit goes a little of a long way Life gets hard and I'm headed for the highway home, home Caught up in the middle of a headache and a heartbreak Just when I thought I was clear of the mistakes, No, no oh oh -when you work so hard there is allways a catch and something will allways go wrong the way he saw it at first

So tell me, tell me, tell me What am I to do I think that this life is darker than the view So help me, help me, help me Be a little more like you When everything is falling I'm gonna do the things you do -he cant see the whole picture becouse life is censored for the average man asking if person can help him see the world in his perspective

Everything is serious and everything is fatal That's what they tell you And that's how they make you know, know I'm tired of the books and I'm tired of the tables Everything is made with the same old labels No, no oh oh Read more at -you should live life without restrictions Shake it, shake it And we're moving again Been a long time coming for the working man Shake it, shake it And we're moving again When the money is high, we can start to spend\ Shake it -and finialy the working man works so hard just to spend money

overall i think this song is about how censorship restricts our way of liveing and being free to enjoy our liuves if this makes any sense
