Well, I'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
And I keep on working till the work is all done
But a voice in my head keeps ticking away
As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day
Well, he works hard
And he lives hard
And he breaks his back without nothing to gain
While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
All dayIn life, there's just one transition
All dayIn life, there's just one decision
Well, I'm peeling the blisters off a working hand
Is that what it takes to make you understand?
That it's something you read, not something you meant
To be slaving away without a shred of integrity
He worked hard
Oh, and he lived hard
And he broke his back without nothing to say
While the man in control was just laughing away
All dayIn life, there's just one transition
All dayIn life, there's just one decision
In life, there's just one transition
Was it something you read?
Was it something you meant?
Was it something you said?
Or was it 
Heaven sent?
All dayAll day
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life there is just one transition
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life, there's just one decision
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life there is just one transition
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life, there's just one decision
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life there is just one transition
You worked and you worked and you worked
In life, there's just one decision...
