Lyrics

Everybody's Working for the Man Again....

by
Kevin Welch

 
Chorus: 
Everybody's working for the man again 
Everybody's working for the man 
Everybody's working for the man again 
Everybody's working for the man 
We had a hardware store on Main Street 
A drug store and a grocery too 
Then the megamarket opened on the edge of town 
And there was nothing anybody could do 

Chorus 
Everybody's working for the man again 
Everybody's working for the man 
Mom and Pop had to close up shop 
Everybody's working for the man 

We had a radio station that played our music 
The way we all liked it round here 
Then a big corporation with a whole lot of money 
Told our jockeys what they wanted to hear 

Chorus: 
Everybody's working for the man again 
Everybody's working for the man 
They got everybody dancing to the same Top Ten 
Everybody's working for the man 

The fox is in the henhouse, cows are in the corn 
Rooster's too scared to crow 
Fat cats are up in the farmhouse now 
Doin' the do-si-do 

The broadcasters bought off the FCC 
Big oil's got the EPA 
Halliburton Halliburton Halliburton Halliburton 
What else do you have to say 

Chorus 

Little fish are eaten by the big fish 
Swallowed up head and tail 
Then the big fish are eaten by the bigger fish 
Till we're all in the belly of the whale 

Chorus 


  

Kevin Welch: guitar, vocal 
Kieran Kane: octave mandolin, little big drum, stuff, vocal 
Fats Kaplin: fiddle, vocal
