Manual Labor

From the garden of Eden right on upto today

By the sweat of his brow is how a man's supposed to earn his pay

But the VIP's and the rich folks of this land

Think manual labor ain't nothing but a Mexican

Who swam the Rio Grande

Manual Labor, that old back breaker him

Sure knows how to make a fool out of folks like me

It throws your muscle in a hustle and it numbs your brain

Then it hauls you off down the tracks like a runaway train

Oh, manual labor you, you old back breaker, you

I must have mistaken you, for a true blue friend you've never been

My youth and my good time spent, don't know where my money went

I like how the government, got more than their share, oh well, who cares?

I'm a-gettin' on a holy road, send a dollar to the TV show

God knows how the money goes, when you're saving a soul, big save-on soul
