STYX Blue Collar Man

Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I m just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I m hardly alive My mother n father, my wife and my friends You ve seen them laugh in my face But I ve got the power and I ve got the will I m not a charity case I ll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye on the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well I m gonna be a blue collar man Make me an offer that I can t refuse Make me respectable man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not I ll take those long night, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just who I am Well I m gonna be a blue collar man Keeping my mind on a better life Where happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise can it be all I heard it was I close my eyes and maybe I m already there (repeat chorus)
