Traveled seven hundred miles
Crossed the border to the
StatesWith a plastic bottle running
Cross the desert in a shake
Come to English only country
Hidin' from the minutemen
Come to make this place my home
Run a long, long way from then
Story of a lifetime
For the minimum wage
Well, they chased me through the desert
Then the agents strapped me down
Then they ask me why in
SpanishWhy you keep on comin' back?
When I left my dad in
JerseyAnd my sister in
Des Moines
They've been workin' in this country
Pickin' lettuce, washing floors
Story of a lifetime
For the minimum wage
Well, they raised me to eight dollars'
Cause I washed the dishes fast
Well, the boss, he got me workin'
On the porch and in the back
Then I wash the dish and rinse it
Then I go home late and sleep
Well, I need to be awake now'
Cause I walk out in my sleep
When I see that black van comin'
Then I know
I'm sure to run
Goddamn them agents caught me
Cuffed me on the spot
For the minimum wage
No one forced the boss to hire me
But it's nearly been fifteen
When I left my baby cryin'
With a promise in my skin
On the outskirts of
L.A.I recite a native poem
Million hands, ten thousand years
It's the season for the crop
It's my people doin' the pickin'
In the valley of the dolls
It's a decent job to work at
Any day I'll take this job
Ethiopian,
Colombian,
Pakistani,
CantoneseEvery man that
I run into
All the kitchens on the strip
And they're pluggin' in them hours
Smilin' in their dreams
They´re a long, long way from home now
But they lookin' to be free
California,
Alabama and
Missouri,
OregonThey been workin' like their fathers were
A long, long time ago
For the minimum wage
For the minimum wage
For the minimum wage
For, for, for, for the minimum wage
It's a bumpy road to ride in
But I'll take it anytime
It's a bumpy road to take
But I'll take it day
It's a bumpy road to take
But I'll take it anytime
For the minimum wage
Traveled seven hundred miles
Crossed the border to the
StatesWith a plastic bottle running
Cross the desert in a shake
Come to English only country
Hidin' from the minutemen
Come to make this place my home
Run a long, long way from then
Story of a lifetime
