If I ain't laughing it don't mean I'm crying
If I ain't living it don't mean I'm dying
Stop asking to see my pearly whites
No time for tooth, son - just stay tight
Cuz no one gets rich on their own sweat these days;
No one out here gets rich
No one gets rich on their own sweat...
Threw back another hour
I put it down like a broken mule
Threw back another hour
I put it down, beat black & blue
Threw back another hour
I put it down like a worn-out fool
Given time only cowards gonna wonder
If they got nothin' better to do
A body set to rest ain't got no soul
A house if left empty it gon' get cold
Gotta fuel the furnace;
Pig iron got the scrap left in it
Gotta burn it pure;
I know the steel gonna take me with it...
No one out here gettin' rich
No one gets rich on their own sweat
I'ma get me rich yet!
