Wage Slave

I don't mind working for a livin'
But a piece dies the first time ya clock in
These long hours can be unforgiving
On your neck, your back, and your skin
So I drive, across the Tobin Bridge
To get to work, this can't be all it means to live
And if that bridge should fall
Me my truck and all
Don't ya dredge up my body, the ocean waves will bring me peace
We could use a shoulder
Some strength to stand and work another day
To get the money that pays for our drinkin'
Keeps the questions and the answers far away
From 'fore I's grown and till they carve my grave
They'll be starvation, confusion and rage
Can't live on work, or a government claim
When salvation comes, we'll be in our graves
Long after I'm gone, the world will change
When it does, plant a red flag upon my grave
For it was us, with sweat and blood
That built this land, forged with love
To bring this day, we never would see
So remember us, come jubilee
From when were born, till we dig their graves
We'll always fight fight fight fight, for freedom we crave
When comes the day, the last battles won
We'll be long dead, bury us with our guns
We could use a shoulder
Some strength to stand and work another day
Just one reason to care about the future
If we ain't gonna see it anyway
Long after I'm gone, I know the world will change
When it does, plant a red flag upon my grave
And when we win, stroll past my grave
And pour their blood, across my Christian name
