Lyrics
From the day that I've known myself
Lord, I've been working for someone else
Now, working like a slave for nothing at all (Uh-uh)
The pants have got torn and torn
Yeah, and the shoes on my feet, Lord, is worn
It may be for long but not forever
Hear them say
It may be for long
It may be for long
May be for long but not forever
Look at how I can see, woman working so hard
Working for their kids in their backyard
But what do they get, seven days working so hard?
They get next to nothing at all
Hear them say
Yeah, yeah now
You got to tell 'em
Oh yeah, now
You got to, got to, yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-uh yeah, oh-oh-oh
I can't get no place to sleep
Lord knows I can't get no food to eat
My children, they're all crying at my feet
You hear them say
It may be for long
It may be for long
May be for long but not forever
Hear them say
It may be for long (May be for long)
It may be for long (May be for long)
May be for long but not forever
Hear them say
It may be for long (Things are gonna change)
It may be for long (It must change)
It may be for long (Our time will come)
May be for long but not forever (We're gonna work, we're gonna work)
Hear them say
It may be for long (May be for long)
It may be for long (It may be for long, it may be for long)
May be for long but not forever (We've got to change somehow)
Hear them say
It may be for long (Lord)
It may be for long
May be for long but not forever
Hear them say
It may be for long (We're gonna change, we're gonna change)
It may be for long (I'm gonna change my ways)
May be for long but not forever
