Don't Let the Bossman Get You Down

Well, I don't mind workin'

I need the check

Sometimes I think it would be nice

If I could get me a little respect

The kids are cryin' for groceries

And every month the rent man comes around

Sad, children cryin' for bread

Sometimes you can't afford to be too sensitive

Don't let the bossman get you down

One more dollar deeper in debt

And another day older

Just some four-eyed fool hangin' over my shoulder

Oh yeah, watchin' every move that I make

And my back's about to break

I know he's a low-down hound

Don't let the bossman get you down

I'm feelin' down, Elvin!

You know I try to grin and fake it

It's kinda hard to take it

And it gets a fella down

Bruce(?) I woulda joined the circus

If I wanted to work with a clown

But ah hell you gotta make a livin'

But don't let the bossman get you down
