[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
Working all day, I'm digging up the roads, just working all day
Dig for my pay and spend it where I like, I've nothing to say
Drown in my sweat but money buys escape
I've got no regrets, working all day

[Refrain: Derek Shulman]
Working all day

[Instrumental Break 00:41–01:03]

[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
When I was young, I used to have illusions, dreams ain't enough
Father was rough, he didn't care for learning, hell life is tough
Easy to say that everybody's equal
Then look around, see it ain't true

[Refrain: Derek Shulman]
Working all day

[Instrumental Break 01:28–04:12]
[Organ Solo]

[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
I eat the dust, the boss gets all the money, life ain't just
I'm still the same as all the other people, who can I trust?
Working all day and never getting nowhere
What can I say, working all day?
[Refrain: Derek Shulman]
Working all day

[Instrumental Outro 4:37–5:11]
