Lyrics
The hard working folks, Im talking bout
Yeah ones like me and you
Yeah were living in the country
We all got small town roots
We keep living day to day
Just to try to make ends meet
We got one paved road in our town
Check it out its on main street
Rich folks looking down on us
From your fancy new high rise
You forget that it's the working class
That drove you there tonight
We aint asking for a hand out
Just respect and you know why
Respect is for the working class
Working hard Yeah day and night
Yeah were not rich, but we aint poor
Dont treat us like were trash
You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
We built your house and fixed your cars
Respect is all we ask
Yeah You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
Yeah you know why this country's great
Its from the working class
We may not have your wealth
Or your fancy house and car
Yeah we take pride in family
That's just who we are
The fortune that you live off
Was made straight off our lives
The life you love came courtesy of
Every Man, Woman and Child
We aint asking for a hand out
Just respect and you know why
Respect is for the working class
Working hard Yeah day and night
Yeah were not rich, but we aint poor
Dont treat us like were trash
You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
We built your house and fixed your cars
Respect is all we ask
Yeah You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
Yeah you know why this country's great
Its from the working class
Yeah were not rich, but we aint poor
Dont treat us like were trash
You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
We built your house and fixed your cars
Respect is all we ask
Yeah You know why this country's great
Its from the working class
Yeah you know why this country's great
Its from the working class
