PapaThey're waiting just outside my doorThis is where I make my stand'Cause I can't stand it anymorePapaThey have no heart and soulBut make no doubt about itThey're the ones that's in controlSo prepare yourself for a war unlike you've ever seenThis is man against machine(Work, work, work)Day in, day outBust your back and turn it outNext morning do it all againHard job or twoSo your children won't have toThat's just the way it's always beenBut lately I swear the machinesAre living the american dreamCareful calculationsDetails drawn down to designIs it really for the better or a better bottom line?Don't know me from adamMan it's rotten to the coreIt's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass beforeJohn henry's about to show honestyIn this war of man against the machine(Work, work, work)Up early up hillsSpend your youth to pay the billsEach generation makes a tradeTop floor brass taxHolds the hand that holds the axActs like my dues have not been paidBut pay attention now when I sayFormation isn't happening todayCareful calculationsDetails drawn down to designIs it really for the better or a better bottom line?Don't know me from adamMan it's rotten to the coreIt's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass beforeJohn henry's about to blow off some steamIn this war of man against the machine(Work, work, work)PapaThe power's out the machines are downIn this world of darknessI can still hear a soundPapaThat sound tears us apart'Cause I'm a machine myselfBut I'm one with a working heartCareful calculationsDetails drawn down to designIs it really for the better or a better bottom line?Don't know me from adamMan it's rotten to the coreIt's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass beforeThe gloves are off, no love lost betweenIn this war of man against the machineWorkWorkWork
