"Blue Collar Man" is just as relevant today as the day it was written |
|
Styx Blue Collar Man
"Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I'm hardly alive My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends You've seen them laugh in my face But I've got the power and I've got the will I'm not a charity case"
Sad commentary that this song was released in 1978

Even more poignant today. And it's got one of the greatest guitar solos ever IMO. :headbang:

The guitar tone in that song is one I worked hard to replicate.
