Working for the man

“Hey now you better listen to me everyone of you – We got a lotta lotta lotta lotta work to do – Forget about your woman and that water can – Today we’re working for the man – well pick up your feet – we’ve got a deadline to meet – I’m gonna see you make it on time – Don’t relax – I want elbows and backs – I wanna see everybody from behind – ‘Cause your working for the man working for the man – you gotta make him a hand when you’re working for the man”… (Roy Orbison)
