Lyrics
P - 9
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somebody's thinking that there might be something wrong
Business is sinking and the cre's been casted off
Nobody's bailing, nobody's sailing, but we re watching it from shore
Nobody's working and we better work this out
If we could see eye to eye, you could see just exactly who is small
But I do my job and do it well and go to hell for writing on the wall
There be enough to go around if I could just get around you
I am not down, my hands are empty, and they're open and I need something to do
And it makes me wonder who I'm working for
cause I think you know just what I'm looking for
And it makes me wonder who you're working for
How many children are waiting by your door?
Is this just a job that I'm working for?
You gave me nothing now you're taking it away
I should be walkin and makin it easy to ignore but I guess I'd better stay
And I forgave you for all the people you've done wrong
Nobody's working and it's gone on far too long
And it makes me wonder who you're working for
cause I think you know just what I'm looking for
And it makes me wonder who I'm working for
How many children are waiting by your door?
Is it just a paycheck I1m fighting for?
