Lyrics

[Intro] Ooh [Verse 1] 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 1] 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 [Guitar Solo] Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, yeah [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 2] Do do do-do, do, do, do-do (You don't understand) Do do do-do, do, do, do-do Do do do-do, do, do, do-do Do do do-do, do, do, do-do [Chorus] I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye to the keyhole If it takes all night to be just who I am Well, I'd rather be a blue collar Gotta be a blue collar Gonna be a blue collar man [Outro] All right! Believe it
