can you sing me a song about digging
oh i can sing while i'm breaking my back
can you tell me how you get out of hell one limb at a time
can you take it back home i can't last another day in the hole
i will
can you tell me how
just what are you you working for
can you sign me the song of your lifetime
i'll sing for my family as hard as i sing for you
stay in the hole as long as your father stayed in
till i can't breathe a breath
what's the going rate on industrial slavery these days
who knows it pays with the walls caving in on you
