Unemployed, he can't find a job
sometimes he feels he's got nothing at all
but he won't work for minimum wage
CHORUS
All he wanted was the right to work
that's what he told the social welfare clerk
All he wanted was the right to work
Right to work
Unemployed for months at a time
welfare check barely gets him by
but he won't take the jobs they offer
CHORUS
on the streets, he turned to crime
what can he do, he can barely read or write
his whole life's been a fight
CHORUS
