Whatever Happened to the Eight Hour Day?
Whatever Happened to the Eight Hour Day? © Anne Feeney (1994) BMI
I was a welder – pulling down 40 thou
For all I know that job's in Pakistan now
And I'm out workin for that minimum wage & wondering
Whatever happened to the eight hour day?
Whatever happened to the 8 hour day
Who feeds a family now on one person's pay?
I can't take much more, I just got one thing to say
Whatever happened to the eight hour day?
We got no time for the house, no time for the kids
This eighty hour week has put our lives on the skids
I can't take much more I just got one thing to say
Whatever happened to the eight hour day?
Oh, the companies keep saying that we want too much
Well all the guys on top sure have that Midas touch
The profits are rising – yeah, that's what they say

It's cause I work twice as hard to take home half of the pay
The kids need attention, the house is a mess
Our marriage is buckling from all of this stress
There's only one thing gonna take it away
Tell me--what ever happened to that eight hour day?
(break)
Remember when one job would pay all the bills?
Remember good jobs that demanded some skills?
If this globalization is great like they say, tell me
Whatever happened to the 8 hour day?
Oh, Whatever happened to the eight hour day?
Can't feed a family on one person's pay
I can't take much more, I just got one thing to say
Whatever happened to the eight hour day?
