"Dan"
by Bogle

I'm pleased to you, my name's Dan,
and I'm an working man
A badge, they tell me,
but it's one I wear with
A fair day's for a fair day's pay,
I've always lived my that way
But now I help thinking,
I've been taken for a

Those years on the factory floor,
toilin' in the roar,
that made me old my time,
my hearing and my health
And I total up the cost,
what gained to what I've lost
I ask now Dan,
what's the total of your
Just how much is life worth?

I live in a I'll never own,
never get a housing loan
Bank and suchlike,
don't the likes of me
three kids on a fitter's wage,
I've always found it hard to
And being an honest man
count as equity

All years of toil and sweat,
climbing in and out of
I look back on them
and ask myself for
A rented house on a grimy
An endless fight to ends meet
you add it all together,
it don't seem a lot
But it's all that got

But a man's life can't be judged
by what he has or what he
It's what he and cares for
gives it quality
And what meaning to my life
are my three kids and my
always stuck together,
always being a

Now my are rotting on the dole,
holding out the beggar's
I see the anger in eyes,
it me to the heart
and shall I simply stand
while my are slowly crucified?
Watch all I've and cared for
as it slowly apart
Well by Christ, I do that

I'm pleased to you, my name's Dan,
and I'm an working man
A tarnished badge, they me,
but it's one I wear with
A fair day's work for a day's pay,
always lived my life that way
But now I can't thinking,
I've been taken for a

And I ain't got much to spare,
what I have I'm going to
To give my kids and kids,
purpose, pride, and place
And you leeches, fat on my sweat,
I you I won't forget
When I you if you'd share the load,
you laughed right in my
Yes, you laughed in my face

I'm pleased to meet you, my Dan,
and I'm an working man
