Never Get Ahead

Monday morning, 9 a.m.
Boy you're looking cute
All dressed up like a little man
In your business suit

Go to town to stand in line
And get down on your knees
I saw you suck off that old man
To pay for your degrees

But you're never gonna get ahead
Giving head to the Man
No, you're never gonna get ahead no
Giving head to the Man
No, you're never gonna get ahead no
Giving head to the Man
No, you're never gonna get ahead
Giving head to the Man, oh that's right

When I'm on the hustle
I often play the part
I don't got to move a muscle
'Cause I'm so full of junk

I'll admit I'm not always proud
I take it in the ass
Just to choose just how I'm screwed
I bribe the upper class, oh

'Cause you're never gonna get ahead
Giving head to the Man
No, you're never gonna get ahead no, no, no
Giving head to the Man
Oh, you're never gonna get ahead no
Giving head to the Man, ow
You're never gonna get ahead
Giving head to the Man

Lord knows I've tried
Lord knows I've tried
I've tried
I've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried
I've tried
I've tried
I've tried and tried and tried and tried
I've tried

'Cause a boy can't love his brother
And a sister love another
And we all love each other
But the man don't need our love oh no
Boys with girls and girl with beds
We're gonna show them now where the action's at
Tie the belt and bite the bullet
But I say bite it off

'Cause you're never gonna get ahead, no
Giving head to the Man
Oh, you're never gonna get ahead no, no, no
Giving head to the Man
Oh, you're never gonna get ahead
Giving head to the Man
Oh, you're never gonna get ahead, no
Giving head to the Man

To the Man
To the Man
To the Man
To the Man

You're never gonna get ahead
By giving head to the Man
