Piece Of The Action

<br>Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine <br>Down on the corner there`s a grocery boy stuffin` boxes fulla hungry dreams <br>Someone`s cleanin` up the offices, one window burnin` in the dark <br>Somebody`s cryin` is there any way in hell <br>To light a comet from a single spark <br>Workin` so hard I can`t remember much about the freedom I been workin` for <br>Felt like a prisoner `til I looked in your eyes <br>And saw a million wide open doors <br>Ya tell me put a little money away, well every dog will have his day in time <br>Well I been slavin` like a dog and I got nothin` to show ya <br>But a collar and a fist fulla nickels and dimes <br>Chorus: <br>I want a piece, a piece of the action, give me a shot at the real thing <br>I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action <br>Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings <br>Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings <br>Been livin` just like my old man did and neither once of us could get it right <br>Punchin` in when the day begins and punchin` out the local boys at night <br>There`s someone leanin` on a peelin` porch <br>And someone leavin` on a silver plane <br>And I finally know the man I`d rather be <br>Girl I won`t be back to getcha `til they know my name <br>(chorus) <br>They hand you a paycheck every week and steal a piece of your soul every day <br>An` I don`t need no gold watch in fifty years, baby let`s be golden today <br>(chorus repeats 2x...) <br>(Solo) <br>(chorus) <br>Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine <br>Down on the corner there`s a grocery boy stuffin` boxes fulla hungry dreams
