todd rundgren - honest work lyrics

Loading...

i’m not afraid to bend my back
i’m not afraid of dirt
but how i fear the things i do
for lack of honest work

my family is lost to me
they could not bear the hurt
to see the state their boy is in
for lack of honest work

i hold no blame for anyone
’twas i who did arrange
to pay my union dues so i’d
not have to learn or change

and when i was replaced, ’twas i
who started down the hill
and drank away my savings ’til
i couldn’t stop myself

the prophets of a brave new world
captains of industry
have visions grand and great designs
but none have room for me

they see a world where everyone
is rich and smart and young
but if i live to see such things
too late for me they come

i know i’m not the only one
to fall beneath the wheel
such company can not -ssuage
the loneliness i feel

so many are resigned to be
society’s debris
but i will be remembered for
the life life took from me

for i’m not afraid to bend my back
i’m not afraid of dirt
but how i fear the things i do
for lack of honest work

but how i fear the things i do
for lack of honest work
