A Working Man’s Life

A Working Man’s Life 

by Paul McCann

.

I worked hard for years to make a quid , 

they sold me out to the cheapest bid .

Someone younger , someone taller ,

someone they said who was  a crawler .

After what I’ve done and all I gave,

There’s no more money for me to save .

Where do I  go and what  can I do ,

with all of my bills still coming through .

They took my job and I lost my wage .

Too old to work they said at my age .

I still have some skills , but they don’t care ,

 I’m out of  pocket it’s seems unfair .

I went out to find another job.

I’d do anything for a few bob .

I’d work outside  in the freezing cold  

but they try to tell me I’m too old .

They refused to give me a pension ,

there’s something deserves a mention ,

I’m an innocent hard working man

and I’ve always done the best I can .

The future is unknown to me ,

I’ve no idea what’s going to be  ,

but I guess  I’ll  have to wait and see ,

the cost of living is killing me .
