PIECE OF THE ACTION
Somewhere a red-eyed waitress
Glances to another movie magazine
Down on the corner there's a grocery boy
Stuffin' boxes fulla hungry dreams
Someone is cleanin' up the offices
One window burnin' in the dark
Somebody's cryin' is there any way in hell
To light a comet from a single spark?
Workin' so hard I can't remember much
About the freedom I been workin' for
Felt like a prisoner 'til I looked in your eyes
And saw a million wide open doors
Ya tell me, put a little money away
Well, every dog will have his day in time
Well I been slavin' like a dog and I got nothin' to show ya
But a collar and a fist fulla nickels and dimes
I want a piece
A piece of the action
Gimme a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action
A piece of the action
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings
Been livin' just like my old man did
And neither one of us could get it right
Punchin' in when the day begins
And punchin' out the local boys at night
There's someone leanin' on a peelin' porch
And someone leavin' on a silver plane
I finally know the man that I'd rather be
Girl and I won't be back to getcha 'til they know my name
I want a piece
A piece of the action
Gimme a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action
A piece of the action
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings
Well they hand you a paycheck every week
And steal a piece of your soul every day
Well I don't need no gold watch in fifty years
Baby let's be golden today
I want a piece
A piece of the action
Gimme a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action
Tired of breaking my back
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings....
I want a piece
A piece of the action
Gimme a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action
A piece of the action
Gonna turn on the master
Gonna cut these strings
I want a piece
A piece of the action
Gimme a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action
A piece of the action.....
