Well, you can't just get what you want Without a little work a day And you can't just stick out your hand, No, it doesn't work that way.
It's gonna be a long one, I'll be working all night long It's gonna be a long one, But I'm paying my way
And there's not much joy in the work Unless your born to do it, they say. And we gotta get down in the dirt now If we wanna see some change.
It's gonna be a long one, I'll be working all night long It's gonna be a long one, But I'm paying my way
And the heart is sliding backwards On this long dark night of the soul, And you're the only thing That keeps me going on
It's gonna be a long one, I'll be working my fingers to the bone It's gonna be a long one, But I'm paying my way
Well, there's not much change in the weather On this long walk home to you in the rain And there's not much left in the purse now By the time the bills are paid
It's gonna be a long one, I can't wait for that weekend to roll along It's gonna be a long one, But I'm paying my way
It's gonna be a long one, I'm gonna take you out dancing all night long It's gonna be a long one, But I'm paying my way
Fair work for fair pay Yeah, I'm paying my way
