One day I was wondering I didn't know what to do that day I stared at myself in the mirror I saw a Twentieth Century slave There I was in my back room There I was wondering why Tomorrow I'll be earning wages I won't be thinking about hews and whys (CHORUS) Moneymaking Is this the only purpose in life Moneymaking Well, I should be happy And so should be my wife I went back to the factory Just like I do every day I told the guys 'bout my problems I told 'em I don't Wanda be no slave Just as long as there's Fridays Just as long as there's Saturdays As long as they can drink their wages Everything seems OK! (CHORUS) Sometimes I think I was chosen to carry The worries of the world What will be my destiny? When will I break free? Now hit me! And tonight I will change it all Tonight I'm gonna get myself free But tonight will never come We'll keep on living in slavery (CHORUS)
