Somebody's  thinking,
Somebody's  thinking  that there might  be something  wrong
Business  is sinking,
Business  is sinking  and the crew's  been casted off
Nobody's  bailing,
nobody's  sailing,  but we're watching  here from shore
Nobody's  working,
Nobody's  working  and we better work  this out
If  we could see eye to eye,  you could see  just exactly  who is small
But  I do my job and do  it well and go  to hell for writing  on the wall
There'd  be enough to go  around  if I could just  get around you
I  am not down, my hands are empty,  and they're  open and I need  something to do
And  it makes  me wonder who  I'm working  for
 'Cause I  think you know just  what I'm looking  for
 And it makes  me wonder who  you're working  for
 How many children  are waiting by your door
This  is just  a child  that  I'm working  for
 You gave me nothing, now you're taking it away
 I should be walking and making it easy to ignore but I
 guess I'd better stay
 And I forgave you for all the people you've done wrong
 Nobody's working and it's gone on far too long
 And it makes me wonder who you're working for
 'Cause I think you know just what I'm looking for
 And it makes me wonder who I'm working for
 How many children are waiting by your door
 Is it just a paycheck I'm fighting for?
