40 years we labor on this chain

Workin' much too hard for what we gain

You and I, we taste the bitter end

Workin' 40 years for another man

Verse 2:

Got no name, just a number in the book

Friendly faces hide the royal look

Nothin' down on you, it's such a shame

Workin' 40 years for another man

40 years 40-- long long years

Give the man your blood and sweat and tears

Cash your check on Friday afternoon

Sunday night your money's gone too soon

For your children, will it be the same?

Workin' 40 years for another man

(instrumental, same pattern as verses)

(chorus, then repeat its last line and fade)
