Give me a job, give me security
give me a chance to survive
I`m just a poor soul in the unemployment line
my god, I`m hardly alive
my mother and father, my wife and my friends
You see them laugh in my face
But I`ve got the power, and I`ve got the will
I`m not a charity case
I`ll take the long night, impossible odds
keeping my eye to the keyhole
if it takes all that to be just what I am
well I`m gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can`t refuse
make me respectable, man
this is my last time in the unemployment line
so like it or not, I`ll take the
long nights, impossible odds
keeping my back to the wall
if it takes all night to be just what I am
well, I`m gonna be a blue collar man
keeping my mind on a better life
where happiness is only a heartbeat away
paradise can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I`m already there
I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
keeping my back to the wall
all that to be just what I am
well I`m gonna be a blue collar man
do do do do do do do do do do do
you don`t understand
do do do do do do do do do do do
I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
keeping my eye to the keyhole
if it takes all night to be just who I am
well, I`d rather be a blue collar
got to be a blue collar
gonna be a blue collar man
