Workin’ for a Livin’ Songtext
von Huey Lewis and the News

Some days won′t end ever and some days pass on by
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die
Damned if you do, damned if you don′t
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't

Workin′ for a livin′
(Workin')
Workin′ for a livin'
(Workin′)
Workin' for a livin′, livin' and workin'
I′m taking what they′re giving 'cause I′m workin' for a livin′

Hey I'm not complainin′ 'cause I really need the work
Hittin' up my buddy′s got me feelin′ like a jerk
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent
I get a check on Friday, but it's all ready spent


Workin′ for a livin'
(Workin′)
Workin' for a livin′
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin′, livin′ and workin'
I′m takin' what they′re givin' ′cause I'm workin' for a livin′

Whoa whoa, workin′ for a livin'
Whoa whoa, takin′ what they givin'
Whoa whoa, workin′ for a livin'
Whoa whoa whoa

Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night
Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight
Walkin′ on the streets it's really all the same
Sellin' souls, rock ′n′ roll, any other day

Workin' for a livin′
(Workin')
Workin′ for a livin'
(Workin′)
Workin' for a livin', livin′ and workin′
I'm takin′ what they're givin′ 'cause I′m workin' for a livin'

Workin′ for a livin′, livin' and workin′
I'm takin′ what they're givin′ 'cause I'm workin′ for a livin′
Workin' for a livin′, livin' and workin′
