Say man, you can't work me too long
I've got a bad back and I ain't much too strong
And anybody knows my name
Everybody says the same,
"The boy don't do nothing
He never worked a good day
I guess you're gonna die a lonely face"
Don't matter 'bout the things you do
Everybody dies
And you too
Hey mister, can I have this week free
I need a little break and a little time for me
Somebody can take my shift
If nobody can then I guess I quit
"The boy don't do nothing
He never worked a good day
I guess you're gonna die without your pay"
Don't matter 'bout the way you go
Everybody dies
But I won't
Be buried in a ditch someday
Or carried by the lord away
After a lifetime of living in pain
Working for the goddamn wage
Anybody knows my name
Everybody says the same
It don't matter 'bout the way you go
It don't matter 'bout the things you do
Everybody dies
And you too
