"Dan"
by Bogle

I'm to meet you, my name's Dan,
and I'm an honest man
A tarnished badge, tell me,
but it's one I wear pride
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

hard years on the factory floor,
toilin' in the roar,
that made me old my time,
wrecked my hearing and my
And I total up the cost,
what I've 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 house never own,
could never get a housing
managers and suchlike,
don't the likes of me
Feeding three on a fitter's wage,
always found it hard to save
And being an working man
count as equity

All years of toil and sweat,
in and out of debt
I often back on them
and ask myself for
A rented on a grimy street
An endless to make ends meet
you add it all together,
it don't seem a lot
But all that I've got

But a man's life be judged alone
by what he has or what he
It's what he and cares for
that gives it
And what gives meaning to my
are my three and my wife
We've always together,
being a family

Now my kids are on the dole,
out the beggar's bowl
I see the anger in eyes,
it me to the heart
and shall I stand aside
while my kids are slowly
Watch all worked and cared for
as it falls 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 one I wear with pride
A fair day's for a fair day's pay,
I've always lived my that way
But now I help thinking,
I've taken for a ride

And though I ain't got to spare,
what I I'm going to share
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 asked you if you'd the load,
you right in my face
Yes, you laughed in my face

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