Everybody Works in China - Judy Collins

Nothin' comes easy in the land of the free

I leave my name and my number with the agency

They don’t hurry gettin' back to me

So I sleep all day and I watch TV

The sun is settin' but I still in my bed

Takin' something for my achin' head

I used to run just to get out the lead

But now I just change the channels instead

Everybody works in China

From the old man down to the minor

Everybody works in China

Oh yes

All this hangin' round makes me feel like a fool

Sometimes I dream I’m 18 and I’m back in school

Jokin' around and fallin' in love

Nothing more to be thinkin' of

Everybody works in China

From the old man down to the minor

Everybody works in China

Oh yeah

So if I could

I’d take my money and I’d take my guy

Hop on a plane, and fly up in the sky

Sit by the window, watch the world go by

Never worry at all

I’d just be havin' a ball

Everybody works in China

From the old man down to the minor

Everybody works in China

Oh yeah

Everybody works in China

From the old man down to the minor

Everybody works in China

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes

Everybody, everybody

Everybody, everybody works in China

Everybody

Oh yeah

Everybody works in China

From the old man right down to the minor

Everybody works in China

Oh yes, oh yes…
