London, November 8 (ANI): The lyrics of rock band Bon Jovi’s new track ‘Work For The Working Man’ have been put up by US President Barack Obama’s chief adviser David Axelrod in his White House office.
The band recently released their eleventh studio album’ The Circle’, containing the song based on a news report about a small town in Ohio, whose local economy was destroyed when shipping company DHL closed its local depot.
The chorus sees Jon Bon Jovi “raise a hand” to help while the verses depict an unlucky worker juggling two jobs, and making ends meet “by the grace of God”, reports the BBC.
The singer revealed Axelrod hung up the song for daily inspiration.
The rocker said: “He’s had them framed, before the album’s even out, as an inspiration to the work they’re doing every day.” (ANI)
