Stand in line to get your brand new blues How you gonna win when we were born to lose The last man I saw standing He could barely stand at all I might ease out into the ether Before anybody knows I'm gone
This bait and switch it's a son of a bitch It ain't workin' for a workin' man I got to shuck and jive just to even survive It ain't workin' for a workin' man
Here we go again it's the same damn thing Everything they give is on the end of a string I want the biggest side of the wishbone All I got is already gone I need a little good with the bad now brother You can't get no blood from a stone
This bait and switch it's a son of a bitch It ain't workin' for a workin' man I got to shuck and jive just to even survive It ain't workin' for a workin' man
Feeling shot at and missed Or maybe shit at and hit It ain't workin' for a workin' man
