Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Man Lyrics






Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Oh oh oh he's a working class man

Well he's a steel town disciple
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone
Across the wild mid western sky
Oh oh oh he's a working class man

He believes in God and Elvis
He gets out when he can
he did his time in Vietnam
Still mad at Uncle Sam
He's a simple man
With a heart of gold
In a complicated land
Oh he's a working class man

Well he loves a little woman
Someday he'll make his wife
Saving all the overtime
For the one love of his life
He ain't worried about tomorrow
Cause he just made up his mind
Life's too short for burning bridges
Take it one day at a time
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
Oh oh oh he's a working class man
Oh yeah
Yes he is
Well he's a working class man
Oh
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
I tell you he's a working class man

(Working class)
(Working class man)

Yes he is

(Working class)
(Working class man)

I wanna tell you he's a working class man

(Working class)
(Working class man)

Ma ma ma

(Working class)
(Working class man)

I got to tell you he's a working class man

(Working class)
(Working class man)

Yeah he is

(Working class)
(Working class man)

  22. D.... X....

    2049...Barnsy..

  23. A.... A....

    One of the best driving songs, I'd pull up right at the Noonamah Tavern or Humpty Doo Tavern in my Impala, wearing my Judas Priest Jacket with my smoke in mouth and I'd go om the opposite side where the servo is and get some nice cold water and some delicious hot food and then I'll wave off the people in the Tavern and play this through the speakers while speeding off down Stuart or Arhnem Highway and having an awesome time.

  24. b.... ....

    Jeez, Barnsey with a lot of hair, must be an old clip.

    I just searched working class and came across this. I’m working class it doesn’t matter if I end up with a shit ton of money in the future or nothing , I’m a working class man from Birmingham the Home of The Industrial Revolution and proud to be a Working Class Brummie. I voted to leave the E.U not Europe and now the Uber elite want to cause dissent, they are scared, we need to rise up against the unelected super rich like George Soros, give me the tools and money and I’ll get rid of him.......Waiting for the police to knock the door. You know I’m watching you Georgie boy.

    1985 the year I arrived into the world and it's hard to think how much it's changed since then you look at the cane fields in the video and see how much a once thriving industry it was to looking at it now nearing the end with mills shutting and farmers getting driven off there land by government policy and bankers time to turn the clock bank and take back this country
