	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
