Waitin' For The Night

Sweatin' every day now
Tryna make a buck
Workin' my fingers down to the bone
Tellin' my boss where to get off
S'like tryna squeeze
blood from a stone

So cut me a slice of the American pie
Everyday around noon
When the clock strikes one
My back's to the sun
Someone pours salt in the wound

Waitin' for the night
Yeah we're waitin' for the night to fall
'Cause the night time is the right time
And we're waitin' for the night to fall

Well, it's all in a day's work
Everybody says
Don't bite the hand that feeds ya
Take the bitter with the sweet
The bull by the horn
Don't lead me out to pasture

Well someone's gotta say it
And I'm proud to be the one
We're just lookin for a good time
And you know what they say
Overworked and underpaid
There's got to be a better way

There's a better way
Than workin' every day
When the tax man comes
And takes it all away

We can make it work
And we can make it pay
We're waitin' for the night to fall
Workin' our lives away
