You sit in church on Sunday   Running figures in your head   You plan tomorrow's meetings   As I slip off to bed   No time for the children's homework   Lord, you never take a rest   You can't let the simple things   Interfere with your success      White collar man   With a briefcase in your hand   Can you hear your children call from your backyard   They need you in their world right now   More than things that you grew up without   Precious time is running through your hands   White collar man      You can't unwind on the weekends   Like you did in our younger days   The deadlines and promotions   I can read them on your face   Your family need attention   And you need some time alone   What you gave at the office   There's not much left when you get home      White collar man   With a briefcase in your hand   Can you hear your children call from your backyard   They need you in their world right now   More than things that you grew up without   Precious time is running through your hands   White collar man      Can't you see they need you in their world right now   More than things that you grew up without   Precious time is running through your hands   White collar man
