A man's work is a reflection of himself working all his life Putting in hours by the sweat of his brow plagued by stress and strife Can you see him? sitting at the bar a beer in his hand in his mouth a cigar Can you blame him? it started off right he's been out on his own and alone every night Every night and day faced with the shadows of what his life should be A man's work is a reflection of himself, but the reflection's hard to see A man's work is a reflection of himself he's the senior man in charge Sittin all the way at the headof the table a position very large Can you see him? Alone in the office Working night and working day Always working up the corporate ladder but his life just passed away Something had to give, so gave his family Working late again tonight A man's work is a reflection of himself Did he ever really try? A man's work is a reflection of himself but some still think I'm wrong Working hard to get by every day just listen to this song A man's work is a reflection of himself but some don't get the chance It's been some time since the factory closed there's no way to advance Can you see him? standing on the corner holding an umbrella got the paper in his hand There was once a time when he had the world in his pocket and his briefcase in hand Then times got rough the company was sold Cause the work they'd been doing all at once had got old A man's work is a reflection of himself but there's no work to apply A so many days pass by in a second the reflections just a lie just a lie just a lie |
