Monday morning again and the rain's coming down I got to get out of bed, catch the other bus in town I can't seem to escape it, living hand to mouth 'Cause if I can't pay my rent I'll be out on the street If I can't buy food I won't have nothing to eat So I got to keep on working Yes I got to keep on working I got to keep on, keep on working Ain't dedication keeps my here on the job It's my financial situation, makes me work like a dog I gotta get out of here, find my place in the sun 'Cause if I can't buy no food, I won't have nothing to eat If I can't buy some shoes, I will have nothing on my feet So I got to keep on working I got to keep on working Got to keep on working Yes I got to keep on working I've got the working Blues, make me blow a fuse Cause my life ain't no, ain't no pleasure cruise Too many people depending on me Lord when will these hard times set me free 'Cause if I can't buy some food they won't have nothing to eat If I can't pay the rent we'll all be out on the street
