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

    General Comment:I never really realized that this song is actually 7 minutes long until I just looked in itunes. I swore it was like 4-5 minutes. I guess time flies by when you get absorbed in the music.

    General Comment:If you just listened to the solo you could definately confuse them for black sabbath. Still a great rush track pre neil era

    General Comment:This used to be my nemesis song on RB2, on bass; the one song I could beat on expert, but have my arm almost fall off in the process. Since I DLed it though, I've gotten better overall, the notes come slower to me etc. and it's not that bad, but I still remember the nights where I would simply fail due to giving up because my arm was in so much pain towards the end of the three minute interlude or whatever it would be called. The lyrics might not be the deepest or most complex, but this has always been one of my favorite Rush songs nonetheless.

    General Comment:I agree that instrumentally it sounds very much like Zep, but I still don't know how people could think it was a new song by them. I mean, c'mon, Geddy and Plant don't sound anything alike...

    General Comment:probably my favourite rush song, maybe freewill or spirit of radio out takes it, hard to decide.

    This band is very underappreciated.
