lyrics

Well I’ve always worked with my hands
Unforgiving labor in unsavory lands
Broken back and nearly broken spirit
I’ve taste the dirt mixed sweat defeat
Risen up on worn down tired feet
I’ve reached for the brass ring, though no where near it
And you would tell me I’m not worth my salt in gold
Kicked to the curb long before I’ve even gotten old

*Chorus*
I’m not dead yet
I’ve still got use left
Don’t need a savior
Just honest labor
Hard work for fair pay
Don’t throw me away
Stretched out and under slept
But I’m not dead yet
I’m worth more than they say

The boss man will take me aside
Tell me hopeful things about work and pride
What he really means is I just made him richer
But I will never see that coin
No tradesmen unions I can join
A bleak and hopeless, sorry sort of picture
And they will tell me I should be thankful for this job
Uneducated work for the uneducated mob

*chorus*

There's so much more of us then them
We should bring this to an end
I don’t want to live under the foreman’s thumb no more
But how can we can we fight to save our lives
When the system is work or die

*chorus*
