Текст песни: Dusty Drake. I Am The Working Man.

That's what I'm talkin' about
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower
Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores
After school, weekends an' holidays

Yeah, ever since then, all I've known
Is my nose on fire from the grindstone
A lifetime built on an hourly wage
Muscled arms an' calloused hands
I am the workin' man

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold
No matter what, it still goes on

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin'
Somebody's gotta fix it
I am the workin' man, yes, I am

Now, I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick
I've hung sheet, rock and shovelled shit
Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart

Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street
So show some respect when you look at me
I'm just out here tryin' to do my part
An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end
'Cause I am the workin' man

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold
No matter what, it still goes on

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin'
Somebody's gotta fix it
I am the workin' man

I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench
Build a tower, dig a ditch
Drive a truck that shakes the earth
Somebody's gotta do the dirty work

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round
Blazin' hot, freezin' cold
No matter what, it still goes on

Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin'
Somebody's gotta fix it
I am, I am the workin' man
Yes, I am oh, the workin' man
