Lyrics

Crack that whip.
I Grab my tools with a cold, cold death grip.
Cause we don't call in sick.
And where's my check?
Had it spent last week cause
I'm a living debt.
Ends I can't connect.
We sow in sweat and blood
We reap in tears then dust
Strength in faith and love and a heart that can't be crushed
We're tired and our backs are sore
Welcome to the working poor
Wrong or right.
We're cursed to the earth with a short life.
Black or white.
The new race is the rich and the toss and turn at nights.
We're the great divide.
The somethin to shows or the empty handed and out of hopes...
We sow in sweat and blood
We reap in tears then dust
Strength in faith and love and a heart that can't be crushed
We're tired and our backs are sore.
Fillin holes that always ask for more.
Welcome to the working poor.
Welcome to the working poor.
