Anne Feeney Miscellaneous Whatever Happened to the Eight Hour Day? Whatever Happened to the Eight Hour Day? Anne Feeney (1994) BMI I was a welder pulling down 40 thou For all I know that jobs in Pakistan now And Im out workin for that minimum wage & wondering Whatever happened to the eight hour day? Whatever happened to the 8 hour day Who feeds a family now on one person's pay? I can't take much more, I just got one thing to say Whatever happened to the eight hour day? We got no time for the house, no time for the kids This eighty hour week has put our lives on the skids I can't take much more I just got one thing to say Whatever happened to the eight hour day? Oh, the companies keep saying that we want too much Well all the guys on top sure have that Midas touch The profits are rising yeah, thats what they say Its cause I work twice as hard to take home half of the pay The kids need attention, the house is a mess Our marriage is buckling from all of this stress There's only one thing gonna take it away Tell me--what ever happened to that eight hour day? (break) Remember when one job would pay all the bills? Remember good jobs that demanded some skills? If this globalization is great like they say, tell me Whatever happened to the 8 hour day? Oh, Whatever happened to the eight hour day? Can't feed a family on one person's pay I can't take much more, I just got one thing to say Whatever happened to the eight hour day? |
