Give me a job
give me 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 and father
my wife and my friends
you see them laugh
in my face
But I've got the power
and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights
impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the
keyhole if it takes all
that to be just what I am
well I'm gonna be a
blue collar man
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 those long nights
impossible odds
Keeping my back to the
wall if it takes all night to
be just what I am well I'm
gonna be a blue collar
man keeping my mind
on a better life
When 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
Ill take those long nights
impossible odds keeping
my back to the wall
All that to be just what
I am well I'm gonna be a
blue collar man
You dont understand
I'll take those long nights
impossible odds keeping
my eye to the keyhole
All night to be just
who I am well I gonna
be a blue collar gotta be a
blue collar gonna be a
blue collar man
Alright!
