One of man's biggest questions, "What do I gain in the end by working so hard all my life?" Seems like a vicious circle.

Lyrics
Chorus
Running in a circle
We are running in a circle
We are running in a circle
We are runnin'
Beginning from the cradle
60 years of toil and labor
Working for a few dictators
It is fatal
Chorus
Repeating our forefathers
Who were bound by chain and collar
Waiting for the master's holler
From the cradle
Bridge
Why do we work so hard?
Why do we work so long?
What is our reward?
When our life is gone
Vying for the paycheck
We are fighting for the paycheck
We are dying for the paycheck
From the cradle
Repeating our forefathers
Who were bound by chain and collar
Working for the mighty dollar
From the cradle
Chorus
Bridge
