Well I'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun

And I keep on working till the work is all done

But a voice in my head keeps ticking away

As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day



Well he works hard

And he lives hard

And he breaks his back without nothing to gain

While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne

All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one transition

All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one decision



Well I'm peeling the blisters off my working hand

Is that what it takes to make you understand?

That it's something you read, not something you meant

To be slaving away without a shred of integrity



He worked hard

And he lived hard

And he broke his back without nothing to say

While the man in control was just laughing away

All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one transition

All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one decision



Was it something you read?

Was it something you meant?

Was it something you said?

Or was it heaven sent?



All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one transition

All day (you work and you work and you work and)

In life, there's just one decision
