lyrics
I ain't never felt
Such pain in my life
I got something strange inside me
That looks like a big ol' kitchen knife
Now you saw fit to stab me with it
And I don't even know what i done did to deserve it
But i know one thing and that is
You're not my enemy
Have you seen him rolling up?
He arrives by limousine
Take that kitchen knife
If you know what I mean
Bang, bang, bang
Working man
Bang, bang, bang
Red right hand
Oh, it's a disease of the body
It's a disease of the mind
Now I'd like to see the doctor
But my claim just got denied
We're all united in this
That's what they're telling me
Is that why every dollar I make
Goes to one of the same three companies?
Now he's got us where he wanted
In his debt and full of hate
But I got a plan laid out
And I'll give it to you straight
Have you seen him rolling up?
He arrives by limousine
And if the knife don't cut
Hear me, people, we'll use the guillotine
Bang, bang, bang
Working man
Bang, bang, bang
Red right hand
Now he's parading on that stage
Waving his right arm
With a big ol' grin on his face
Like he ain't never done no harm
And he keeps spittin' in your face
And all the journals suck it up
But when he's coming for your neighbors
Will you be ready to stand up?
Too long we've helped them feed a cancer
But now we'll rise back up and fight
For, yes, violence ain't the answer
Unless the question is right
Bang
Working man
Bang, bang, bang
Red right hand
Bang, bang, bang
Working man
Bang, bang, bang
Red right hand
