Blue Collar Man

Ooh! 
Give me a job, give me security, 
give me a chance to survive. 

I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line. 
My God, I'm hardly alive. 

My mother and father, my wife and my friends, 
you've seen them laugh in my face. 

But I've got the power and I've got the will, 
I'm not a charity case. 

I'll take those 
long nights, impossible odds, 
keepin' my eye on the keyhole. 

If it takes 
all that to be just what I am. 
Well, I'm gonna be a blue-collar man. 

Make me an offer that I can't refuse, 
make me respectable, man. 

This is my last time in the unemployment line. 
So, like it or not, 

I'll take those 
long nights, impossible odds, 
keepin' my back to the wall. 

If it takes 
all night to be just what I am. 
Well, I'm gonna be a blue-collar man. 

Keepin' my mind on a better life 
where happiness is only a heartbeat away. 

Paradise, can it be all I heard it was. 
I close my eyes, and maybe I'm already there. 
I'll take those 
long nights, impossible odds, 
keepin' my back to the wall. 

All that to be just what I am. 
Well, I'm gonna be a blue-collar man. 
You don't understand. 
I'll take those 
long nights, impossible odds, 
keepin' my eye on the keyhole. 

If it takes 
all night to be just who I am. 

Well, I vow to be a blue-collar, 
gotta be a blue-collar, 
gonna be a blue-collar man.
