lyrics

Hard Working People

The town that I’m from ain’t all that pretty
She’s full of empty promises lies and deceit
but she’s got a lot of gold for you to try and take away
You can pay with blood or you can pay with time
but if your chasing gold the only trades your life
everything else is nothing in her eyes
And all the things you love are the things that kill you
you pay for them in blood exceptions only few
you’re hard working people working hard to kill yourself

So don’t ever laugh and don’t ever cry
just keep on going until the day you die
cause once she’s got a hold on you she don’t let go
And she’ll love you right to the end
but for all her love you have to face your death
you’re hard working people working hard to kill yourself
