You're Working For Somebody |
LyricsYOU'RE WORKING FOR SOMEBODYMark Patterson Copyright 2022 I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me I know you're my elected official That's how I raise my constitutional voice But make no mistake, you ain't no great shakes You were just the least self-interested choice I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me Well you started out as a crusader And your heart was in the right place It was gonna happen sooner or later When you sold your soul just to win the next race I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me When the only job you've really got right now Is to hold onto the one you've got somehow The best laid plans of mice and men Are lobbied away to nothing in the end Maybe I'm just another cynic But why should you have to make do? While your congressman puts on a clinic On how to get rich representing you I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me I'm sure you're working for somebody buddy But you surely ain't working for me (Repeat) |
