Blue Collar Man @ 2120 - Styx

Yeah

Yeah, I’m gonna be a blue collar man

Give me a job, give me security

Give me a chance to survive

I’m just a poor soul in the unemployment line

My God, I’m hardly alive

Mother, father, wife and my friends

I see them laugh in my face

I got the power, and I got the will

I’m not a charity case

I’ll take those long nights, impossible odds

Keeping my eye to the keyhole

If it takes all that to be just what I am

I’m gonna be a blue collar man, yeah

Gonna be, yes I am

Where happiness is only a heartbeat away (Do the best I can)

A heartbeat away

Paradise, (Yeah) can it be all I heard it was
