It's Styx Time, Bitches

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive

My mother and father,
My wife and my friends,
I see them laugh in my face

But I've got the power
And I've got the will,
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those

(Long nights, impossible odds)
Keeping my eye to the keyhole, if it takes
(All that to be just what I am)
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not, I'll take those

(Long nights, impossible odds)
Keeping my back to the wall, if it takes
(All that to be just what I am)
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was?
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
