[00:00.00]Toil - Flatfoot 56
[00:15.92]Upon this lowly railroad spike my hammer swung and fell
[00:20.31]Down the mighty Mississipp
[00:22.09]Where the raging waters swell
[00:23.96]In the corner of that factory a dark man made hell
[00:27.82]I'll be sitting there in my snare making what they sell
[00:32.02]With a silver spoon breaking my teeth
[00:33.89]The boys on the line working just to eat
[00:35.90]Are you picturing the stories that I sing
[00:39.59]A child working day and night
[00:41.60]A father turned into a ghostly sight
[00:43.85]The wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
[00:47.08]Of a poor man just trying to remain
[00:52.60]As he pays his toll of pain
[01:01.39]From the dear old age of Adam to the workers of Boaz
[01:05.07]We've been doomed to sing this crazy song
[01:07.16]Yet it's made me who I am
[01:09.15]From the steel workers in Pittsburgh
[01:11.06]To the trucker and his load
[01:12.98]All feeding that old fat cat just hoping he'll explode
[01:18.88]With a silver spoon breaking my teeth
[01:21.18]The boys on the line working just to eat
[01:22.97]Are you picturing the stories that I sing
[01:26.86]A child working day and night
[01:28.80]A father turned into a ghostly sight
[01:31.05]The wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
[01:34.37]Of a poor man just trying to remain
[01:39.17]As he pays his toll of pain
[01:56.65]We've been working for far too long
[02:00.14]We've been doomed to hear this crazy song for our sons
[02:04.41]Our sweat must be working just to fall
[02:07.66]I'm a slave to that whistle call
[02:11.55]I'm a slave to that whistle call
[02:17.53]From the dear old age of Adam to the workers of Boaz
[02:22.01]We've been doomed to sing this crazy song
[02:23.94]Yet it's made me who I am
[02:25.77]From the steel workers in Pittsburgh
[02:27.98]To the trucker and his load
[02:29.73]All feeding that old fat cat just hoping he'll explode
[02:35.75]With a silver spoon breaking my teeth
[02:37.76]The boys on the line working just to eat

[02:43.50]A child working day and night
[02:45.52]A father turned into a ghostly sight
[02:47.85]The wage slave knows so well that hopeless strain
[02:51.30]Of a poor man just trying to remain
[02:55.90]As he pays his toll of pain
[03:13.48]We've been working for far too long
[03:16.80]We've been doomed to hear this crazy song for our sons
[03:21.17]Our sweat must be working just to fall
[03:24.50]I'm a slave to that whistle call
