Workin' Man Zombie

lyrics

You be(en) walkin' around all your life,
You been searching for answers to try prove you're right
But that ball & chain you wear
keeps you on the ground
Yeah, that ball and chain you wear keeps you right here
down on the ground and that's right there want ya

You be workin' & slavin' your whole life away
Pushin' & Pushin' & pushin' & nothing
You be workin' & slavin' all the hours
And that ball & chain that you wear
Keeps you right down here among us, babe
There ain't nothing else you can do about it
There's so many links I can't even begin to count 'em

You've been standing out like a stick in the mud,
But some days you feel more like a cot damn lightning rod
You got more coursing through your veins than you'll ever admit
Yeah, you put in the blood & you put in the sweat and they will surely give you the spit
right between the eyes

You be workin' & slavin' your whole life away
Pushin' & Pushin' & pushin' & nothing
You be workin' & slavin' your whole hours
And those chains that you wear
Keeps you right here on the ground, baby
I saw you yesterday, your eyes were completely gazed over
nobody was home
You know, it's like there was no lights on, nobody's home baby
You're a workin' man zombie
That's all you are.
