LYRICS:

Im here, trying to make a living
And I aint living just to die
Never getting back what Im giving
Wont someone help me, someone justify
Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line
And theres nothing left, whats on my mind

Whos gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, whos gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother Ive been damned, if I dont raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man

Empty pockets, full of worries
I had to get two jobs and it was hard enough getting by
But with the grace of God Im getting us through
But only know that I know how to do
That Im the only one whos gotta look my family in the eye
Day after day, night after night

Whos gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, whos gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother Ive been damned, if I dont raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man
Work, work, working man

I lost my pension, they took my ID
These were my friends, these were my dreams
These were my hopes, these are my dreams
Can you hear me ?

Whos gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, whos gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother Ive been damned, if I dont raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man
Work, work, working man

I lost my pension, they took my ID
These were my friends, these were my dreams
These were my hopes, these are my streets



====================================


The first "pension / ID", the bridge, is the only part I really like
Pretty forgettable song, and his voice is crap now
Let's wait until Richie makes this better
 
This guy ain't improving anything:

They have some catchy tunes, a few of which I'm not ashamed to say I like a lot. They're way above Creed and Nickelback in my book.
 
Oh man, this new song is quite mediocre. :lol: Pearl Jam covered the same subject much better. To make it worse, Jon's voice here sucks!
 
I heard it was our country. Of course, the jury's still out.
 
I guess big Jon has never heard of subtlety when it comes to lyrics. yikes
 
I liked it, no problem at all with Bon Jovi.
 
Or that they coast on the fame of two shitty songs from 20 years ago?
 
As Cori mentioned, they had a couple of decent songs back in the 80's that make them stand out more compared to Creed or Nickelback.

If we were comparing everything they've done since then, I'd agree that the level is the same.

I think we're more or less agreeing here. I said that the gap is not that wide, and you're not really refuting that. I'm not even a fan of the "decent" songs you are referring to, but others obviously are.

Then again, others are also fans of Nickelback songs, they just don't post on interference.
 
I really enjoyed "You Give Love A Bad Name" when I was like 9.

I heard he was eating some caviar and listening to Dark Side of the Moon, and the lyric "think I'll buy me a football team" came around, and so he went and did it. He bought a fucking football team. Good for him.
