Heavier Than Lead

Heavy, heavy load
Heavier than lead
By the sweat of my brow
We shall all eat bread

Under the hot, hot burning sun
I cannot get no rest until the workday is done
But when the work is done, oh we're gonna have some fun
Gonna hit this city like a bullet from a gun

Heavy, heavy load
Heavier than lead
By the sweat of my brow
We shall all eat bread

Oh, the workers getting tired
Hands are getting rough
Sun is going down now
Said they've had enough

Diamonds and pearls
Man, we don't need that stuff
Just a break from the toil
It would be just enough

Heavy, heavy load
Heavier than lead
By the sweat of my brow
We shall all eat bread

Heavy, heavy load
Heavier than lead
By the sweat of my brow
We shall all eat bread

Oh, the workers getting tired
Hands are getting rough
And the sun is going down
Said they've had enough

Diamonds and pearls
Man, we don't need that stuff
Just a break from the toil
It would be just enough

Heavy, heavy load
Heavier than lead
By the sweat of my brow
We shall all eat bread
