[00:01.05]Working John Working Joe (2004 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull
[00:09.67]When I was a young man as all good tales begin
[00:13.75]I was taught to hold out my hand
[00:22.56]And for my pay I worked
[00:25.25]An honest day
[00:26.89]And took what pittance I could win
[00:35.30]Now I'm a workin' John and I'm a workin' Joe
[00:44.28]And I'm doin' what I know
[00:49.04]For God and the economy
[00:53.53]Big brother watches over me
[00:58.70]And the state protects and feeds me
[01:03.29]And my conscience never leaves me
[01:07.68]And I'm loyal to the unions
[01:12.08]Who protect me at all levels
[01:25.64]Now as I grew
[01:27.31]The winds of fortune blew
[01:29.82]And the bank smiled down upon me
[01:38.73]And mortgaged to the hilt I threw
[01:42.98]The breeze of caution's behind me
[01:51.52]Now I'm a workin' John and I'm a workin' Joe
[02:00.56]And I'm good at what I know
[02:05.19]And God and the economy
[02:09.69]Have blessed me with equality
[02:14.61]Now I'm equal to the best of you
[02:19.52]And better than the rest of you
[02:23.82]Who would criticize my success
[02:27.92]In times of national unrest
[02:58.97]Now I own my horseless carriage
[03:03.08]In its central heated garage
[03:07.46]And I commute eighty miles a day
[03:12.51]Up at seven to make it pay
[03:16.21]I direct ten limited companies
[03:20.59]With seemin' consummate expertise
[03:25.12]Two ulcers and a heart disease
[03:29.24]A tremblin' feelin' in both knees
[03:33.03]And I'm a workin' John
[03:37.67]I'm a workin' Joe
[03:42.22]And I'm doin' what I know
[03:46.72]But God and the economy
[03:50.70]Big brother watches over me
[03:56.16]And the state protects and feeds me
[04:00.85]And my conscience never leaves me
[04:05.25]And I'm loyal to the unions
[04:09.56]Who protect me at all levels
[04:13.85]I'm a workin' John yes
[04:18.40]I'm a workin' Joe
[04:22.50]And I'm a workin' John
[04:26.68]Yes I'm a workin' Joe
