Lyrics
WHITE COLLAR MAN
(Spoken)White collar man says he wants my vote.
He says, "We're all brothers." "We are in the same boat."
Is it true? Well I think I'll say not.
The other day I saw him sailing his yacht.
His dental work his insurance pays. That's nice.
I've no insurance. So I pay twice the price?
I have a job where I don't get a raise.
The politician votes himself higher pays.
(Chorus)
Oh(Harmony) White Collar Man
(Spoken)He says he'll save my day.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He'll help me make my way.
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He doesn't understand. I know
(Harmony) White Collar Man
(Spoken)He's gonna use me again.
I can't get credit so I rent to own. That's nice.
So then I find out I paid twice the price. Again?
The businessman claims he's doing a favor.
He's downsizing all the fruits of my labor.
(Chorus)
(Harmony)White Collar Man
(Spoken)He says he'll save my day.

For forgiveness though I'll have to pay.
His services us'lly come with a fee.
What ever happened to giving freely.
