0:05Somebody's thinking that
0:07Somebody's thinking Somebody's thinking
0:09There might be something wrong
0:11Business is sinking
0:13Business is sinking and the crew's been casted off
0:18Nobody's bailing Nobody's bailing nobody's sailing
0:21But we're watching it from shore
0:24Nobody's working Nobody's working
0:26Nobody's working and we better work this out
0:35If we could see eye to eye
0:38You could see just exactly who is small
0:42But I do my job and do it well
0:44And go to hell for writing on the wall
0:48There'd be enough to go around
0:51If I could just get around you
0:54I am not down my hands are empty
0:56And they're open and I need something to do
1:00And it makes me wonder who I'm working for
1:06'Cause I think you know just what I'm looking for
1:13And it makes me wonder who you're working for
1:18How many children How many children
1:21How many children are waiting by your door
1:25Is this just a job
1:28That I'm working for
1:31You gave me nothing You gave me nothing
1:33You gave me nothing now you're taking it away
1:37I should be walkin' and makin' it easy to ignore
1:40But I guess I'd better stay
1:43And I forgave you I forgave you
1:45I forgave you for all the people you've done wrong
1:49Nobody's working Nobody's working
1:51Nobody's working and it's gone on far too long
1:56And it makes me wonder who you're working for
2:02'Cause I think you know just what I'm looking for
2:08And it makes me wonder who I'm working for
2:14How many children How many children
2:16How many children are waiting by your door
2:20Is it just a paycheck I'm fighting for
