Workin' man, workin' 9 to 5   Can't call in sick or his family won't survive   And though they pray there's bills still to pay   Workin' man, there's got to be another way      Everybody's got the same old hard luck story   It's just a hard luck, hard luck story      The times we live in are confusin' as hell   Oil companies say there's nothin' left in the well   They take our money and live high on the hog   Help us Mr. President or ain't that your job      It's just another hard luck, hard luck story   It's just another hard luck, hard luck story      Wake up in the morning, you can taste the air   Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Lord, it just ain't fair   They tell us this and they tell us that   But, it all melts down to the same old fact      It's just another in a long line   Of hard luck stories      It's a hard luck, hard luck story   It's a hard luck, hard luck story
