Todd Rundgren - Honest Work слова песни
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 assuage
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
