(Verse)
They say work (Em)hard and you'll get ahead
But I'm just (G)breaking my back instead
Clocking in (Am)just to pay that rent
Ain't much (G)left when the day is (Em)spent
Boss man (Em)talking Œbout living the dream
The dream thatŒs (G)built on my routine
They raise the (Am)price we keep the pace
Running in (G)place just to stay in the (Em)race
(Chorus)
We built this (Em)town with our two hands
Blood in the (G)dirt, sweat in the sand
They make the (Am)rules, we make it stand
Yeah, this (G)land runs on a working (Em)man
(Verse)
Fields stack (Em)high, pay check's thin
Round and a-(G)round that wheel we spin
They fly first (Am)class we drive beat trucks
Still showing (G)up when the world gets (Em)rough
(Chorus)
We built this (Em)town with our two hands
Blood in the (G)dirt, sweat in the sand
They make the (Am)rules, we make it stand
Yeah, this (G)land runs on a working (Em)man

(Break)
DonŒt (Am)need your pity, don't need your crown
WeŒre the (Em)folks that keeps it spinning round
(Am)One more day we'll take that stand
You (G)keep my soul from the working man
(Chorus)
We built this (Em)town with our two hands
Blood in the (G)dirt, sweat in the sand
They make the (Am)rules, we make it stand
Yeah, this (Em)land runs on the working man
(Chorus)
We built this (Em)town with our two hands
Blood in the (G)dirt, sweat in the sand
They make the (Am)rules, we make it stand
Yeah, this (G)land runs on the working (Em)man
