Lyrics:

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Gimme a job, gimme 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, my father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I got the power, and I got the will
I'm not a charity case

I'll take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man, yeah
I'm gonna, gonna, gonna

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 the

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where 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

And I'll take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
('Cause I am what I am)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Blue collar man)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Just like my daddy was)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Oh, and I'm gonna take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar
Gotta be a blue collar
Gonna be a blue collar man

I'm gonna be a blue collar man
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
(You sing it)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Yeah, yeah, yes, I'm)
Gonna be a blue collar man
('Cause I am what I am)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Blue collar man)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Gonna be, I'm gonna be, gonna be, gonna be)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Blue collar man)
Gonna be a blue collar man
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Yeah! Yeah, yeah!
Blue collar man!
