Forty Years - Tom Fogerty

Forty years we labor on this chain

Workin' much too hard for what we gain

You and I, we taste the bitter end

Workin' forty years for another man

Got no name, just a number in the book

Friendly faces hide the royal look

Nothin' down on you, it’s such a shame

Workin' forty years for another man

Forty years, forty long long years

Give the man your blood and sweat and tears

Cash your check on Friday afternoon

Sunday night your money’s gone too soon

For your children, will it be the same?

Workin' forty years for another man

Forty years, forty long long years

Give the man your blood and sweat and tears

Cash your check on Friday afternoon

Sunday night your money’s gone too soon

For your children, will it be the same?

Workin' forty years for another man

Workin' forty years for another man

Workin' forty years for another man

Workin' forty years for another man
