[Verse 1]
A
Somedays won't end ever and somedays pass on by,
A
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die.
A
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
A
I'm supposed to get a raise this week, you know damn well I won't.
[Chorus]
D
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
A
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
G D
Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'
N.C.
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.
[Instrumental Break] (half of verse)
[Verse 2]
A
Hey, I'm not complaining 'cause I really need the work
A
But hitting up my buddy's got me feeling like a jerk
A
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent.
A
I get a check on Friday, but it's already spent.
[Chorus]
D
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
A
Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin', livin' and a-workin'
N.C.
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

[Verse 3]
A
Busboy, bartender, ladies of the night

Walking on the streets, it's really all the same

Selling souls, rock 'n' roll, any other game
