OK, I'm gonna reserve judgment till I hear the real version, but... I quite liked that. If the chorus has that kind of "folksy (?)" feel in the electric version, I'll be quite thrilled.

This may be too hasty of a judgment, but It's 5 in the morning here and I'm in a generous mood, so the hell with it: I think this is the best chorus they've written in the decade.

Heres the lyrics ! Once again, I'm really in love with this song

Work For The Working Man

I’m here, trying to make a living
And I ain’t living just to die
Never getting back what I’m giving
Won’t someone help me, someone justify
Why these strong hands are on the unemployment line
And there’s nothing left, what’s on my mind

Who’s gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, who’s gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother I’ve been damned, if I don’t raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man

Empty pockets, full of worries
I had to get two jobs and it was hard enough getting by
But with the grace of God I’m get us through
But only know that I know how to do
That I’m the only one who’s gotta look my family in the eye
Day after day, night after night

Who’s gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, who’s gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother I’ve been damned, if I don’t raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man
Work, work, working man

I lost my pension, they took my ID
These were my friends, these were my dreams
These were my hopes, these are my dreams
Can’t you here me ?

Who’s gonna work for the working man ?
Work for the working man
(Work) Get the hands in the dirt, who’s gonna work of the curse
(Work) Brother I’ve been damned, if I don’t raise a hand
Work for the work, work, work for the working man
Work, work, working man
Work, work, working man

I lost my pension, they took my ID
These were my friends, these were my dreams
These were my hopes, these are my streets

Aloha !

Good song, shame about the intro sounding like Prayer though.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I said I wouldn't listen to anything until they were officially released, but I'm glad to hear people are happy with the song. Fills me with some confidence.

I like it, far from bad. As what Seb said, I agree with him about the it sounding a bit like Prayer.
