genre:

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 

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds 
Keeping my back to the wall 
All that to be just what I am 
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man 

You don't understand 

I'll take those long nights, impossible odds 
Keeping my eye to the keyhole 
If it takes all that be just who I am 
Well, I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar 
Gonna be a blue collar man 

Believe it
