Lyrics
I wake up every morning at 5 am, I throw my alarm as I jump out of bed.
I get in the truck and I’m heading for work, it’s the same old highway and the same old dirt,
If I’m late again my boss is going to be a jerk
I get to the yard about right on time, I punch that clock when it’s my turn in line.
I walk to the truck and collect all the tools; those toxic chemicals will burn you fool.
I’m workin for the city and I aint got nothin to lose.
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin.
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin.
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin.
And I’m never gonna do it again.
When the sun comes up, I’m digging in the dirt,
I know that by lunch my backs going to hurt,
By three pm it’s 100 degrees, I’m sweating through my shirt and there’s pain in my knees.
Workin for nothin but a paycheck is the life for me!
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin.
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin.
Whoa oh oh I waste my life working for nothin
And I’m never gonna do it again
