[Verse 1]
  E
I take my card and I stand in line
   E
To make a buck I work overtime
 A                    B                  E
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
  E
I work my back till its wracked with pain
    E
The boss can’t even recall my name
  A                    B                     E
I show up late and I'm docked it never fails
  A                      E
I feel like just another spoke in a great big wheel
E      A                                  B
like a tiny blade of grass in a great big field

[Verse 2]
   E
To workers I’m just another drone,
   E
to ma bell I’m just another phone
    A                B               E
I’m just another statistic on a sheet
   E
To teachers I’m just another child,
   E
To IRS I’m another file
    A               B                   E
I’m just another consensus on the street
E     A                        E
Gonna cruise out of this city, head down to the sea
E     A                                  B
Gonna shout out at the ocean, “hey, it’s me”.

[Chorus]
B                 E
And I feel like a number, feel like a number
E                       A
Feel like a stranger, a stranger in this land
A             E
I feel like a number, I’m not a number,
E                A                                E
I’m not number.  Damn it, I’m a man. I said I’m a man.
