Words and music by geddy lee and alex lifeson

I get up at seven, yeah
And i go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, i'm workin' all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what i am

I get home at five o'clock
And i take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wond'rin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the workin' man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what i am

Well they call me the workin' man
I guess that's what i am
