Lyrics

You know I think that it?s a shame, you don?t even know my name, as long as I?ve been workin? for you.
Well I?ve been jumpin? out the sack, just?a breakin? my back, tryin? to earn a buck, a buck or two. And as soon as I make it, seems like somebody takes it, no time to sleep I gotta pay them bills.
And if they don?t kill me, I know workin? the night shift will.

You know I think that it?s a shame, you don?t even know my name, as long as I?ve been workin? for you.
Well you work me real hard, till the mornin?, then it?s overtime, without warning. Now you think that I?ll be happy with your pay, but listen mister,
I don?t need it anyway, the only social life I have is sleeping through what?s
left of my day. Hey,

*Chorus*
I?m just a hard workin?, middle class, belongin? to the no-life club.
Tryin? to make a livin? while I?m sweatin? and breathin? in dust.
Just spinnin? my wheels and goin? nowhere, babe, you know thats true.
Cause, I aint no boss? son, and I ain?t his nephew.

*Chorus again*

(Vamp)

I ain?t got no wife, ain?t got no life, boss? pat on the back, feels like a knife.
I wanna quit, but can?t afford to.

Well they?re takin? my youth from me, remember a time you had energy,
well they got you where they want you.

Yeah we?re the truckers, the waitress?, the gas attendants too. Workin? at the Post Office, workin? there for you. Now it don?t matter what it is that you do. When your workin? on the night shift, you?re gonna get the blues....those night shift blues..........
