Blue Collar Blues

lyrics

Hey Mr. business man, Mr. business man will you lend me your ear
and tell me sir just what have you won here?
your life's marked by the sales you make in the fiscal year.
you just live to work.

Hey Mr. business man, Mr. business man are you a man at all
when your fortune cascades like a waterfall?
well sales are up this month, so you don't pay it any thought,
you just sell. and it sells.

and all the business men walk around with rainclouds o'er their heads,
No they don't mind the water, they're ready to get wet.
well i'd just as soon sink before i'd kick my legs to swim,
cause one day god's gonna wipe you from the earth.
tell me then sir, how much is your money worth?

is it worth life?
is it worth love?
is it worth freedom?
or peace?

Hey mr. president, mr. president do you hear the mother's cry?
or look into the eyes of the farm boys you ship off to die?
just teach 'em how to kill and let the fast bullets fly,
and scratch your head. now all hope is dead.

and all the business men walk around with rainclouds o'er their heads,
no they don't mind the water, ya they're ready to get wet.
well i'd just as soon sink before i'd kick my legs to swim,
cause one day god's gonna wipe you from the earth.
tell me then sir, how much is your money worth?

is it worth life?
is it worth love?
is it worth freedom?
is it worth OIL?
or peace?
