[Verse 1]
My name is Jonas, I'm carryin' the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us, but this is how we feel
Come sit next to me, pour yourself some tea
Just like Grandma made when we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then, once but never again

The driver said, "Hey man, we go all the way"
Of course we were willing to pay

Words of deep concern from my little brother
[Chorus 2]
The building's not goin' as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math
[Bridge 1]
The workers are going home, the workers are going home
The workers are going home, the workers are going home, yeah
[Bridge 2]
The workers are going home, the workers are going home
The workers are going home, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
