F Catch a train, read the paper, E Fight your way through the early morning mob, Am You've got a job. F Show the boss you're a comer, E Some may loaf but you are much too wise, Am You're bound to rise. G Oh, some may fail along the way, Am Some may settle for the pay and take it. G Yeah, some will say enough's enough, Am Only you have got the stuff to take it.
Always there volunteering,
Someday they will all be cheering you
Like losers do.
Sacrifice, work on Sunday,
Monday there'll be more for you to do.
You winner, you.
G Am Oh, how old did you say you are today? G Am Oh, has business been so bad? G Am Oh, I'm sorry things worked out that way, G Am Oh, and the breaks you never had.
Oh, try again, new position,
Someone has the job you thought you'd won,
Could be your son.
Catch a train, read the paper,
Fight your way through the early morning mob,
Go find a job.
Go find a job.
Go find a job.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1976)
