Working for the Man
Wilt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And with the boys from the bronx i feel alright
And make nothing of the way they were adored
Ooh man before
My legs are gonna need a little rest
Cause i'm working on the man to take his test
My worries are always so unwell
That by the tone i can hardly find the time to let you know
That i'm always in too deep.
I'm working for the man in red tonight
And with the boys from the bronx i feel alright
And make nothing of the way the were adored
Cause by the time i can make it i'm in score
And by the tone i can hardly find the time to let you know
That i'm always into...
Ooh the one who knows, i pushed the door and let it through
Am I good enough to make the break a time to you
Ooh watching in the sun, I pushed the door and let it through
My legs are gonna need a little rest
Cause i'm working on the man to take his test
My worries have always gone so well
Ooh i can tell
Ooh i can tell
And by the tone i can hardly find the time to let you go
Could it be that you're weary now or maybe it's just me
And i'm sure that theres hope regained where's never gone before
But i'm always in too deep.
The lyrics to Wilt's "Working for the Man" describe the struggles and exhaustion of working for someone else. The singer is "working for the man in red tonight," indicating that they are working a job with little personal fulfillment. However, they find solace in their comradeship with "the boys from the bronx." The phrase "make nothing of the way they were adored" implies that they are not impressed by the celebrity or status of their employer, but rather focus on their own daily grind. The line "my legs are gonna need a little rest" shows the physical toll that working for the man takes on the singer. The phrase "working on the man to take his test" could refer to a performance review or evaluation, and the singer's worry that they will not measure up.
The repetition of the line "by the tone I can hardly find the time to let you know" portrays the singer's sense of being overwhelmed and stressed. They feel like they don't have time for personal matters because they are always "in too deep" with their job. The phrase "the one who knows, I pushed the door and let it through" could suggest that the singer is searching for answers or a way out of their current situation. The final lines of the song express hope ("I'm sure that theres hope regained where's never gone before"), but also a sense of being trapped ("but i'm always in too deep").

Well I'm working for the man in red tonight yeah
I am currently employed by the person in charge tonight
And with the boys from the bronx i feel alright
I feel good being around my friends from the Bronx
And make nothing of the way they were adored
I don't care how popular they were in the past
Ooh man before
The past doesn't matter to me
My legs are gonna need a little rest
My legs are tired and I need a break
Cause i'm working on the man to take his test
I am trying to get the man to take a test
My worries are always so unwell
I am always worried and anxious
And by the time i make it back to tell
By the time I have something to say, it's too late
That by the tone i can hardly find the time to let you know
I am so busy and stressed that I don't have time to update you
That i'm always in too deep.
I am always overwhelmed and overcommitted
Ooh the one who knows, i pushed the door and let it through
I am taking a chance by opening up to someone
Am I good enough to make the break a time to you
I am unsure if I am capable of making a breakthrough
Ooh watching in the sun, I pushed the door and let it through
I am opening up to someone in a vulnerable state
My worries have always gone so well
My worries have never been resolved
Ooh i can tell
I know this to be true
And by the tone i can hardly find the time to let you go
I am too busy to have a proper goodbye
Could it be that you're weary now or maybe it's just me
I am unsure if you're tired or if it's just me
And i'm sure that theres hope regained where's never gone before
I am hopeful that we can improve our situation
But i'm always in too deep.
But I am still overwhelmed and overcommitted
