《Working John -- Working Joe》歌词

[00:00:01] Working John Working Joe (2004 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull

[00:00:09] When I was a young man as all good tales begin

[00:00:13] I was taught to hold out my hand

[00:00:22] And for my pay I worked

[00:00:25] An honest day

[00:00:26] And took what pittance I could win

[00:00:35] Now I'm a workin' John and I'm a workin' Joe

[00:00:44] And I'm doin' what I know

[00:00:49] For God and the economy

[00:00:53] Big brother watches over me

[00:00:58] And the state protects and feeds me

[00:01:03] And my conscience never leaves me

[00:01:07] And I'm loyal to the unions

[00:01:12] Who protect me at all levels

[00:01:25] Now as I grew

[00:01:27] The winds of fortune blew

[00:01:29] And the bank smiled down upon me

[00:01:38] And mortgaged to the hilt I threw

[00:01:42] The breeze of caution's behind me

[00:01:51] Now I'm a workin' John and I'm a workin' Joe

[00:02:00] And I'm good at what I know

[00:02:05] And God and the economy

[00:02:09] Have blessed me with equality

[00:02:14] Now I'm equal to the best of you

[00:02:19] And better than the rest of you

[00:02:23] Who would criticize my success

[00:02:27] In times of national unrest

[00:02:58] Now I own my horseless carriage

[00:03:03] In its central heated garage

[00:03:07] And I commute eighty miles a day

[00:03:12] Up at seven to make it pay

[00:03:16] I direct ten limited companies

[00:03:20] With seemin' consummate expertise

[00:03:25] Two ulcers and a heart disease

[00:03:29] A tremblin' feelin' in both knees

[00:03:33] And I'm a workin' John

[00:03:37] I'm a workin' Joe

[00:03:42] And I'm doin' what I know

[00:03:46] But God and the economy

[00:03:50] Big brother watches over me

[00:03:56] And the state protects and feeds me

[00:04:00] And my conscience never leaves me

[00:04:05] And I'm loyal to the unions

[00:04:09] Who protect me at all levels

[00:04:13] I'm a workin' John yes

[00:04:18] I'm a workin' Joe

[00:04:22] And I'm a workin' John

[00:04:26] Yes I'm a workin' Joe
