(Phil Vassar with Huey Lewis)

(Chris Hayes/Huey Lewis)

Somedays won't end ever and somedays pass on by,

I'll be working here forever, at least until I die.

Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't

I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't.

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'

I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Hey I'm not complaining 'cause I really need the work

Hitting up my buddy's got me feeling like a jerk

Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent.

I get a check on Friday, but it's all ready spent.

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'

I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Ooh, Workin' for a livin'

Ooh, taking what they giving

Ooh, Workin' for a livin'

Ooh, ooh

Bus boy, bartender, ladies of the night

Grease monkey, ex-junky, winner of the fight

Walking on the streets its really all the same

selling souls, rock n' roll, any other day

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin' (workin')

Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'

I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'

I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
