Long Nights, Impossible odds…


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!

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
I’m gonna be a blue collar man

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

Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall

If it takes all that to be just what i am
I’m gonna be a blue collar man

Keeping my mind on a better life
When 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
