G
Something's wrong man when the boss man makes you beg for your own paycheck
C G F C
With his sweaty chest and his cigarette breath, breathing right down your neck
G C
Another fat face in the rat race, keeps feeding me do's and don't's
D
It's the weekend so take your clock, stick it in and break if off, I got plans of my own
[Chorus]
G
Tonight there's beer that needs drinking, Merle Haggard that needs singing
G C
A couple of boys that need to go ahead and fight, that's right
D G
Beer cans that need stacking, pool balls that need racking, that's the only quota I'm meeting tonight
G C D
So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class, everybody else can just kiss my ass
[Instrumental]
G (x3) F C
[Verse 2]
G
Uncle Sam says pay your taxes, neighbors say mow your grass,
C G F C
Signs here and there, tell me when and where I can smoke my damn cigarettes
G C
So, if you think you need another piece of me, well hunker down and pucker up
D
Put your rosy red lips on my lower hips, go on and get you some
[Chorus]
G
Tonight there's beer that needs drinking, Merle Haggard that needs singing
G C
A couple of boys that need to go ahead and fight, that's right
D G
Beer cans that need stacking, pool balls that need racking, that's the only quota I'm meeting tonight
G C D
So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class, everybody else can just kiss my ass
G C
So, if you're with me raise your glass, here's to the working class
D
Everybody else can just kiss my ass
