intro :
G C D C G

G
somebody’s thinking ,
C D C G
somebody’s thinking that there might be something wrong
G
business is sinking ,
C D C G
business is sinking and the crew’s been casted off
G
nobody’s bailing ,
C D C G
nobody’s sailing , but we’re watching here from shore
G
nobody’s working ,
C D C G
nobody’s working and we better work this out

G C D C G
if we could see eye to eye , you could see just exactly who is small
G C D C G
but i do my job and do it well and go to hell for writing on the wall
G C D C G
there’d be enough to go around if i could just get around you
G C D C G
i Am not down , my hands are empty , and they’re open and i need something to do

G C D G
and it makes me wonder who i’m working for
C D G
’cause i think you know just what i’m looking for
C D G
and it makes me wonder who you’re working for

C G
how many children are waiting by your door
G C D C G
this is just a child that i’m working for

you gave me nothing , now you’re taking it away
i should be walking and making it easy to ignore but i
guess i’d better stay
and i forgave you for all the people you’ve done wrong
nobody’s working and it’s gone on far too long

and it makes me wonder who you’re working for
’cause i think you know just what i’m looking for
and it makes me wonder who i’m working for
how many children are waiting by your door

is it just a paycheck i’m fighting for?
