Liam Carse - Workingman's Fate

Workin' hard or hardly workin'
Honey, the latter ain't me
Just to be an old man in a beach chair
Yeah, that's where all your hard work leads

You rise up early, you show up early
If you ain't early, man, you're late
Burn forty hours, then two-thousand
Ain't that just the workingman's fate

And it takes money to make some money
So the crack between the sidewalk grows
Take a night shift, get a facelift,
Or spend your whole life paying back a loan

But you rise up early, you show up early
If you ain't early, man, you're late
Burn two-thousand, then a hundred-thousand
Ah, ain't that just the workingman's fate

Provide, provide
It's what you must do
Husband or wife
Keep pushing on and pushing through

'Cause you rise up early, you show up early
If you ain't early, man, you're late
Burn a hundred-thousand or a million
Ah, ain't that just the workingman's fate
Ain't that just the workingman's fate
Ain't that just the workingman's fate
