Damn Right, the Working Class - Painless Parker (free MP3 download)
Who made your silver cufflinks?
Who rolled your big cigar?
Who wired up your smartphone?
Who built your shiny car?
Who makes your lifestyle possible
Who deserves the credit?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
Who Mends your fighting trousers?
who shines your wingtip shoes?
Who serves your Russian Caviar
and thousand dollar booze?
Who tends to all your comforts?
Who deserves the credit?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
Who picks your whole bean coffee?
Who brews your fancy beer?
Who blends your pipe tobacco?
Who lights your chandelier?
Who's labor serves your lush life, tell me
Who deserves the credit?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
Who operates the railroads?
Who drives the taxi cabs?
Who fixes up the potholes
And who lays the paving slabs?
Who gets you from point A to B
Who deserves the credit?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
Who mines the earth for minerals?
Who cuts the forest trees?
Who plows the harvest fields and toils
In the factories?
Who keeps this country running, tell me
Who deserves the credit?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
Who's waiting for the trickle down
That never seems to come?
Who tries to stand up for their rights
and get told to keep mum?
Who'll sing this song from dusk til dawn
Until you finally get it?
Damn right, the working class
And don't you dare forget it!
