The Workaday Lyrics & Chords By Burton Cummings

I was visiting a country that I did not understand,
Felt like I was drowning, being swallowed by the land
In the workaday, in the workaday
I was talking to a woman whom I could not understand,
She was loud and she was pushy, she was probably a man
In the workaday, in the workaday
Make the most of every minute
Welcome to it, now you're in it.
I was standing at the airport with a very nervous man
Said he had to go to Sydney or the deal was through his hands
In the workaday, in the workaday
I was talking to a singer who was very very wrong
He was totally convinced that I was stealing all his songs
In the workaday, in the workaday
None of us is any badder
There you go, you're up the ladder.
So right... so cold,
Keep on the way you're goin' and you won't get old
New dreams... new tears...
Droppin' in your forties in the recent years.
You can take the power with you so you're never out of touch
Makes it easier to deal with those who haven't quite as much
In the workaday, in the workaday
There's a girl who needs a favour, there's a girl who needs a break
There's a girl who's horizontal, it's a lot of give and take
In the workaday, in the workaday
Make the most of every minute
Welcome to it, now you're in it.
