gray paint peels from a broken wall the engines have
stopped turning no shouts heard from the foreman's
call you're outta work and you're learning walk before
you run or you're gonna fall but before I lend a hand
I wanna see you try to stand prove you're worth it
dignity and pride cherished by the ones who've earned
it though many fought and died at least they tried
what's made of a man who helps himself his fortune
is made not given lazy men have no right to share his
wealth leeches suck for a living only those who stand
reach the highest shelf
