When the Working Day Is Done

When the working day is done

And the factory whistle blows

When the daily race is run

And you turn once more for home

All the people pushing by

As the sun dips in the sky

All the songs that go unsung

When the working day is done

When the working day is through

And you're waiting in the rain

For another overdue

Overcrowded railway train

And the movie poster screams

It's the best film ever seen!

But it's all a different world

To which you have never been

And you're bored out of your mind

So you keep yourself amused

Reading the Financial Times

Of the fellow next to you

Then something in you snaps

And you shout with all your lungs

WE GIVE AND GET NOTHING BACK!

When the working day is done

When the working day is done

And the factory whistle blows

When the daily race is run

And you turn once more for home

All the people pushing by

As the sun dips in the sky

All the songs that go unsung

When the working day is done
