When digging a deep trench
For a most shallow wage
I think that maybe
At the end of the day
When hands are bubbled in blisters
Achingly reaching for pay
I may just get a bullet punching through my thick skull
Get pushed in the ditch of my own design
The fruits of my labor
To consume me
Into a godless grave
Tears should not flow
For the son that chose to live as a slave
For a most shallow wage
I think that maybe
At the end of the day
When hands are bubbled in blisters
Achingly reaching for pay
I may just get a bullet punching through my thick skull
Get pushed in the ditch of my own design
The fruits of my labor
To consume me
Into a godless grave
Tears should not flow
For the son that chose to live as a slave
