I've done a fair week's pay
I've been doing everything I've had to do
But there are missing hours
And the buck stops with you
You think I can't read the signs
Though I gave you the history of me
I'm not taking this lying down
When I've worked so hard to please
What have you got in store
For me and all the slaves?
There's room for more
In this world that you have made
Closing the door
Into my weary face again
I've done a fair week's pay
I've been doing everything I've had to
But there are missing hours
And the buck stops with you
I've had enough
Of this world knocking me down when I'm trying to walk
Loyalties collide
With days meaning nothing at all
It's well known round town
That we've reached a common crisis
And who can forget
That your cross eyed love is priceless
Same can't be said
For the reason I am here with you
There are missing hours
And the buck stops with you
