I gotta work for your minimum wage
I gotta work for your minimum wage
I gotta work for your minimum wage
But do you have my soul?
No, no, no

I’m gonna shovel the shit for you
I’m gonna shovel the shit for you
I’m gonna shovel your shit for you
But do you have my soul?
No, no, no

You got my body, you want my soul
You got my body, but do you have my soul?
No, no, no

Boilermaker breakfast at 7:00 a.m.
Quittin’ time, we do it again
Numb the mind ‘til it has no voice
Work that line ‘cause we have no choice

You got my body, you want my soul
You got my body, but do you have my soul?
No, no, no

I walked into the factory
Foreman said, “you’re late again,”
Said, “One more time and you’ll be through.”
Then he looked me up and down, said
“Man, you really need this job because
You have nothing else you can do.”
I looked him in the eye, said
“Man, you must be high.
Who are you to tell me what you think I can do?
You’re gonna be here the rest of your life.
But I am through.”
