Workin' Man Bleeds Lyrics

Feeling run down

Enough to drive me mad

It ain't too often

I feel downright sad

But lately it's relentless

All this bad news

World don't seem to be changing

For better but worse

They say we oughta team up

We can weather this storm

But sometimes some people

Still don't know right from wrong

Tax man keeps taxin'

Good people to their knees

Politicians keep politickin'

While the working man bleeds

It's been so long

Knew the facts from their lies

Feel safe talkin' shit

From up in their highrise

Like some sort of twisted

Reality show

But what hangs in the balance

Is our very soul

They say we oughta team up

We can weather this storm

But sometimes some people

Still don't know right from wrong

Tax man keeps taxin'

Good people to their knees

Politicians keep politickin'

While the working man bleeds

Ain't that surprised

When the proud beat their chest

All them people 'round 'em doin' nothin'

Man, we got less respect

You expect a fool

To believe their own lies

It's all them silent sidekicks

Man, we really despise

What makes you so sure

You ain't gonna be next?

Stood back and watched

Said it's for the best

When the phone rings

And this time it's for you

Too late to start begging for mercy

For things you can't undo

They say we oughta team up

We can weather this storm

But sometimes some people

Still don't know right from wrong

Tax man keeps taxin'

Good people to their knees

Politicians keep politickin'

While the working man bleeds

Don't be naïve

It ain't all left or all right

Both sides got their share of dogs

In that fight

They promise for your vote

You're gonna get what you need

'Til they start getting high

On power privilege and greed

Say we oughta team up

We can weather this storm

But sometimes some people

Still don't know right from wrong

Tax man keeps taxin'

Good people to their knees

Politicians keep politickin'

While the working man bleeds

Politicians keep politickin'

While the working man bleeds
