Well i'm standing in the fire again

Everybody knows i'm a workin' man

In some ways it's either sink or swim

These days i don't mind givin' in

You get but one chance to go 'round

And make the most of what i found

I'm standing in the fire again

Everybody knows i'm a workin' man



I've been out of work for such a long long time

Every day down in the factory line

Gettin' on some kind, any kind of good news

Only knowin' there's nothin' left to lose

You get but one chance to go round

And make the most of what i found

I get to work on time every single day

Till the robot takes my job away



You never get out of this worried life

I do what i can while i'm markin' time

I bet,walk away i'm on sacred ground

Long long way from this factory sound



I'm standing in the fire again

Everybody knows i'm a workin' man

In some ways it's either sink or swim

These days i don't mind givin' in

I'm standing in the fire again

I'm standing in the fire again
