[Intro] . . . . [Verse 1] My daddy worked the line, his daddy worked the mine I work a screen that glows like a dollar sign Same old story, different century of pain They changed the chains to contracts and rebranded the chain [Verse 2] I got a side hustle, a main hustle, a hustle on the side I got a landlord, got a car note, got nowhere left to hide They say the market's booming — well, boom it in my face 'Cause my boom is a bedroom and a cold empty plate [Pre-Chorus ] And the bossman smiles on LinkedIn And the bossman posts his grind And the bossman says we're family — Yeah, the unpaid kind [Chorus] Working class blues, baby, same song, new groove Working class blues — nothing left to lose [Verse 3 ] I seen the TED talks, I done the vision board I manifested hunger and a maxed-out card Elon's on the radio, Taylor's on the feed And me? I'm counting quarters just to make the week [Pre-Chorus ] And the bossman smiles on LinkedIn And the bossman posts his grind And the bossman says we're family — Yeah, the unpaid kind [Chorus] Working class blues, baby, same song, new groove Working class blues — nothing left to lose [Post-Chorus ] The house always wins and the house ain't mine Working class blues till the end of the line [Bridge] You know they sold us Springsteen and they sold us the dream Sold us a highway with no exit, no gasoline But I still got my guitar and I still got my rage And a three-chord song is a three-chord cage [Guitar Solo ] [Final Chorus] Working class blues, baby, same song, new groove Working class blues — nothing left to lose Working class blues, baby, same song, new groove Working class blues — nothing left to lose [Post-Chorus ] The house always wins and the house ain't mine Working class blues till the end of the line [Outro ] The house always wins and the house ain't mine Working class blues till the end of the line
