Working Blues

Testo:

4 bar intro
8 bar verse, 4 bar chorus
Every morning, Six ay em rise
Open the window, see the rainy grey skies
Brew up some coffee, cold water splash on the face
Then get out and run another day in the Human Rat Race
But I need the job - I got too much to lose
Every Day, I got the Working Blues

4 bar break
8 bar verse, 4 bar chorus
Into the office, put on the jacket and tie
Stare at the screen - watch myself slowly die
Talk to your workmates, they feel the same as you
Hating the knowing, there ain't nothing you can do,
Cos you need the job - you got too much to lose
Every Day, got the Working Blues

8 bar break
8 bar verse, 4 bar chorus (x2)
Life ain't worth living, when you're down on your knees
Giving and giving, always pretending to please
Nobody likes being told what to do
But don't never do a job that be slowly killing you
You don't need it, your life is too much to lose
Just walk away - from the Working Blues
You don't need it, your life is too much to lose
Just walk away - from the Working Blues

ad lib to abrupt ending
