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
