All around

I hear the sound
Of money
But I ain't got a nickel

To my no me
And everywhere I look
I see temptation

She stands
On every corner
And calls my name
Now won't you tell me
If you can

'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancin'

While the poor man
Pays the bond
Oh, they're billin' me

For killin' me

Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
Uncle Sam's got
His hands in my pockets

And he helps himself

Each time
He needs a dime
Them politicians ireaf me
Like a mushroom

'Cause 1hey feed me bu
And keep me in he blind
Now won't you tell me
If you can

'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancin'

While the poor man
Pays the bond
Oh, they're billin' me

For killin' me

Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
(Instrumental Break)
Hey Saint Peter,

Look down for o minufe
And see this Iiifle man
About to drown
Well there's quicksand
All around

And man, I'm in it
Please help me up Lord
'Cause I'm goin' down
Won't you tell me
If you can

'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the rich man
Busy dancin'

While the poor man
Pays the bond
Oh, they're billin' me

For killin' me

Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
Won't you tell me
If you can

'Cause life's so hard
To understand
Why's the tot man
Busy dancin'

While the thin man
Pays the bond
Oh, they're billin' me

For killin' me

Dear Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
Please Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
Please Lord have mercy
On the workin' man
