Meat Loaf - Piece Of The Action Lyrics
Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazineDown on the corner theres a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreamsSomeones cleanin up the offices, one window burnin in the darkSomebodys cryin is there any way in hellTo light a comet from a single sparkWorkin so hard I cant remember much about the freedom I been workin forFelt like a prisoner til I looked in your eyesAnd saw a million wide open doorsYa tell me put a little money away, well every dog will have his day in timeWell I been slavin like a dog and I got nothin to show yaBut a collar and a fist fulla nickels and dimesChorus:I want a piece, a piece of the action, give me a shot at the real thingI want a piece of the action, a piece of the actionGonna turn on the master, gonna cut these stringsGonna turn on the master, gonna cut these stringsBeen livin just like my old man did and neither once of us could get it rightPunchin in when the day begins and punchin out the local boys at nightTheres someone leanin on a peelin porchAnd someone leavin on a silver planeAnd I finally know the man Id rather beGirl I wont be back to getcha til they know my name(chorus)They hand you a paycheck every week and steal a piece of your soul every dayAn I dont need no gold watch in fifty years, baby lets be golden today(chorus repeats 2x...)(chorus)Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazineDown on the corner theres a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams
