Working Man Lyrics
and I go to work at nine.
I got no time for livin'.
Yes, I'm workin' all the time.
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 workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.
and I take myself out an ice cold beer.
Always seem to be wonderin'
why there's nothin' goin' down here.
I could live my life
a lot better than I think I am.
I guess that's why they call me,
the workin' man.
I guess that's what I am.
I guess that's what I am.
seems to be about the basic 9-5 worker..........he feels his whole life is spent working and when he gets home he has no time for anything
It doesn't sound nowhere near as rockin as the original,but this is the first song my brother taught me on acoustic guitar.
this song is the greatedt after work song
just like B said, basic 9-5 worker...and believe me, we all know how great this song is after a long ass day at work
Working Man is a good song but it's obvious how Neil Peart changed the bands direction when he joined the band on their next album. He wrote the majority of Rush's lyrics and they became much more complex.
I don't know much about playing guitar or singing...but that cover seems pretty bad...not clean at all. Sorry, man.
man, thats not a cover...is it? geddy lee himself said that he's thuoght about covers, it would be interesting. i dont thinkt hey've ever done any. but ya..the 9-5 worker theory is bang on..i think.
Since it was so early on in Rush's career, the song was probably taken from several other sources. (Styles like The Who or Led Zeppelin would have used.) People were actually calling the radio when this came out thinking that they had heard fresh Zeppelin material.
I don't believe it's a cover, however.
Great song nonetheless. Put Rush on the map. =]
It is not a cover, a Rush original. That being said, the song is one of my favorites by them, I love the riff!
My theme song. I can definitely relate. I may go see these guys live.. sick. It'd be my first concert. :)
