He's a working man with a solid steady hand And a mind to fight their lies A mind to fight their lies But if he's winning or losing he'll never quite decide He's stubborn and he's foolish a little bit like my father He's part of the union but mostly he don't bother To put up a fight Though he knows what's right Chorus: Every day's the same The sun comes up and it fades away Darlin' I think it's time for a change I'm tired of all this anger, broken dishes, and alarm clocks But my heart is breaking, breaking with the thought Of losing you To a world that's so untrue Try to tell myself it's over forget it and move on But each crack in the sidewalk and stone in the wall Reminds me of that tired worker's song And it was our song Chorus: They say the dreams of a man must be hard to hide But we do it so well Every day from nine to five It's in the colors of the canyon The greenest gra** and the bluest sky We were not meant for this Not meant to live this lie Still we try Chorus:
