lyrics

Well they oughtta be afraid of us
Cus the whole world is made of us
People workin hard to get along

It isn’t that I really care
I’ll never be a millionaire
But I get the feeling something’s goin wrong

It’s a labour of love I guess
Cus it sure doesn’t pay
To work this job or raise these kids
Or feel this way
Dinner’s on the table
And I put a roof above
But goddamn this labor of love

Well I don’t mind workin hard
But I get home after dark
And I feel my spirit sinking to the floor

Pretty sure I used to be
Somethin more than an employee
But i hardly can remember anymore

It’s a labour of love I guess
Cus it sure doesn’t pay
To work this job or raise these kids
Or feel this way
Dinner’s on the table
And I put a roof above
But goddamn this labor of love

It’s a rich man’s game and they play to win
But there’s more of us than there are of them
I think sometimes they should change the locks
We’re a powderkeg, they’re a tinderbox
And I don’t know if you might
brother can you gimme a light?

It’s a labour of love I guess
Cus it sure doesn’t pay
To work this job or raise these kids
Or feel this way
Dinner’s on the table
And I put a roof above
But goddamn this labor of love

Well they oughtta be afraid of us
Cus the whole world is made of us
