Well I'm pushing on and I'm feeling good I'm gonna make my point 'til it's understood 'Cause I've been sweating blood but the boss don't care And I'm walking out of here I've been pushed around by the men upstairs With their suits and ties, with their stocks and their shares Got a wife and kids, but I've got no cash And I'm walking out of here They don't even need to say they're sorry They don't even need to show they care I ain't gonna be a slave for no one I ain't gonna work and get nowhere I've got the right to feel like I've got a voice I need a chance to speak, need to make a choice Got a lot to say, but they keep me quiet And I'm walking out of here They don't even need to say they're sorry They don't even need to show they care I ain't gonna be a slave for no one I ain't gonna work and get nowhere Sometimes I feel, feel like a lifetime's past How long, I ask, how long will this last? This time Well I guess it's true what you learn at school If you oughta win, you gotta break some rules Now honey, I can sit here and sell my soul But I'm walking out of here So if you're satisfied with your lot in life And if you're truly happy to just survive Well then, all the best and I wish you luck But I'm walking out of here They don't even need to say they're sorry They don't even need to show they care I ain't gonna be a slave for no one I ain't gonna work and get nowhere
