Lyrics:

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my dog and my friends
You see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye in the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not, I'll take those
Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life
When happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was?
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there

oooh, oooh, oooh yeah

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(You don't understand)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just who I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar
Gotta be a blue collar-
Gonna be a blue collar man

Alright!

Believe it
