Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I work so hard trying to make a few bucks
I pass the hours in a dream
The sweat keeps rolling off the tip of my nose
There's only one thing, one thing, one thing keeps me on my feet
[PreChorus]
And I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
Oh, I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
Just reminds me
Of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound
[Chorus]
Wild sex in the working class
After 5:00, it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes, gonna get home fast
Gonna get home fast
[Verse 2]
Thinking of your warm skin
While I touch cold steel
The days go by to the pounding beat
My back is aching so bad
But I'm grinning inside
Thinking of you, thinking of you keeps me on my feet
[PreChorus]
And I may be greasing the wheels in a noisy factory
Oh, I may be hunched over metal machines
Watching the gears as they move
Just reminds me
Of bodies in motion
The sweat and the sound
[Chorus]
Wild sex in the working class
After 5:00, it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes, gonna get home fast
Gonna get home fast
[Bridge]
I work so hard thinking of you
Work so hard thinking of you
Work so hard
[Chorus]
Wild sex in the working class
After 5:00, it's a gas
Wild sex in the working class
Counting minutes, gonna get home fast
[Outro]
Wild sex in the working class
Wild sex
Wild sex
