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
