Song: Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)
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...
(Chorus)
Long nights, impossible odds,
Keepin\' my eye to the keyhole,
If it takes all that, to be just what I am,
I\'m gonna be a blue collar man.
Make me an offer that I can\'t refuse,
Make me a respectable man.
This is my last time in the unemployment line,
So like it or not, I\'ll take those...
(Chorus)
Keepin\' my mind on a better life,
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away...
Paradise... can it be all that I heard it was?
I close my eyes, and maybe I\'m already there...
I\'ll take those long nights, impossible odds,
Keepin\' my back to the wall,
If it takes all that to be just who I am,
I\'m gonna be a blue collar man...
You don\'t understand...
(Chorus)
Gonna be a blue collar,
gonna be a blue collar,
gonna be a blue collar man!

I get this feeling sometimes, like even though I\'m working, it\'s not a job, but a prison. It\'s kinda weird, but that\'s probably just because I\'m constantly in closed spaces. Still, sometimes I\'d do anything to get out... hence my quoting of yon song.
