The Modern Workers Song

[Chorus]
And it’s go, team, go
They’ll time your every breath
And everyday you’re in this place
You’re two day nearer death
But you go…

A working hand am I, and I’m tellin’ you no lie
I work and breathe among the fumes that foul up our sky
There’s loud noise all around me and there’s poison in the air
There’s a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all through my hair

[Chorus]

Well I’ve worked among the drivers and I’ve dropped your dinner off,
I’ve slipped upon your icy walk, your package held aloft,
I don’t have time for lunch or breaks, and have to hold my urine,
The work is tough, I’ve seen enough to make your stomach turn.

[Chorus]

There’s overtime but nurses have no bonuses in store
But they all need the money and they all come back for more
But soon their back is out and there’s no money for their care
For every cent made on the job, their body pays its share.

[Chorus]
