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
