The Chinese took my job now I ain't got no money
The rent is overdue again and buddy this ain't funny
The taxman said there's another Lien on the way
There's no savings for a rainy day

Refrain:
But I got the soul of a son of a workin' man
Daddy taught me and made me all I am
I got a fight and the will to withstand
I got the soul of a son of a workin' man

Feel pistol-whipped, beat up and busted
Feelin' let down from the people that I trusted
If you want a shot at me you better stand in line
Better bring an army to take what's mine

Refrain:
I got the soul of a son of a workin' man
Daddy taught me and made me all I am
I got a fight and the will to withstand
I got the soul of a son of a workin' man

Sometimes I'm hit so hard my bell is rung,
I'm down for the count
But I ain't gonna let it get me down,
I'm gonna get up for another round.

Refrain:
I got the soul of a son of a workin' man
Daddy taught me and made me all I am
I got a fight and the will to withstand
I got the soul of a son of a workin' man
