Well he works on
And he lives on
And he breaks his back without nothing to gain
While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
All day
In life, there's just one transition
All day
In life, there's just one decision
Well I'm peeling the blisters off a working hand
Is that what it takes to make you understand
That it's something you read
Not something you meant
To be slaving away without a shred of intent
Well he worked on
Oh, and he lived on
And he broke his back without nothing to say
While the man in control was just laughing away
All day
In life, there's just one transition
All day
In life, there's just one decision
Life is just one transition
Was it something you read
Was it something you meant
Was it something you said
Or was it heaven sent
All day
All day
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision
