Hardworking Man - Song

I wake up early every day
Working hard for my pay
But when I look at my check
It ain't enough to live a life of comfort and success.
They take my money and they give it away
To countries far across the sea
Why should I work so hard every single day
When my labor doesn't benefit me?
I'm tired of living in this endless cycle
Of working hard just to stay poor
I want to see the fruit of my labor
Instead of giving it all to some distant shore.
I'm a hardworking man, I deserve respect
Not just crumbs left on the government's desk
I want to see change, I want to see progress
A better future where my work isn't oppressed.
I dream of a life where I don't have to worry
About making ends meet or being stuck in a hurry
But until that day comes, I'll keep fighting the fight
Against the system that keeps me in the dark of night.
So I'll riseeee up and I'll make my voice heard
I won't let them.. take away my reward
I'll fight for what's rightfully mine
And I won't rest until my labor is mine.
I'm a hardworking man, I deserve respect
Not just crumbs left on the government's desk
I want to see change, I want to see progress
A better future where my work won't be oppressed.
I won't back down, I won't give up the fight…
I'll keep pushing until everything feels alright
I believe in a brighter tomorrow, a better future ahead
Where my labor isn't exploited but honored instead.
I'm a hardworking man, I deserve respect
Not just crumbs left on the government's desk
I want to see change, I want to see progress
A better future where my work isn't oppressed.
