Lyrics
Well I'm Standing In The Fire again
Expressing being in a challenging or difficult situation, metaphorically referred to as "Standing In The Fire."
Everybody knows I'm a workin' man
Acknowledging the identity as a hardworking individual.
In some ways it's either sink or swim
Highlighting a circumstance where one must either overcome challenges or face failure.
These days I don't mind givin' in
Indicating a willingness to surrender or yield in certain situations.
You get but one chance to go 'round
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of opportunities in life.
And make the most of what I found
Encouraging making the most of the current situation or circumstances.
I'm Standing In The Fire again
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges, being in a difficult situation, or taking risks.
Everybody knows I'm a workin' man
Reaffirming the identity as a hardworking individual.
I've been out of work for such a long long time
Describing a prolonged period of unemployment.
Every day down in the factory line
Portraying the monotony of working on the factory line every day.
Gettin' on some kind, any kind of good news
Expressing hope for any positive news or change in the situation.
Only knowin' there's nothin' left to lose
Acknowledging the realization that there is nothing left to lose.
You get but one chance to go round
Reiterating the importance of seizing opportunities in life.
And make the most of what I found

I get to work on time every single day
Highlighting punctuality and commitment to work.
Till the robot takes my job away
Expressing concern about the potential replacement of human labor by machines or robots.
You never get out of this worried life
Conveying a sense of being trapped in a challenging or worrisome life.
I do what I can while I'm markin' time
Doing one's best while waiting for better times.
I bet,walk away I'm on sacred ground
Suggesting a reluctance to leave a familiar or secure environment.
Long long way from this factory sound
Expressing a distance from the noise and routine of the factory environment.
I'm Standing In The Fire again

Everybody knows I'm a workin' man
