Rundgren, Todd - Honest Work Lyrics
I'm not afraid to bend my back
I'm not afraid of dirt
But how I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work
My family is lost to me
To see the state their boy is in
For lack of honest work
I hold no blame for anyone
'twas I who did arrange
To pay my union dues so I'd
Not have to learn or change
And when I was replaced, 'twas I
Who started down the hill
And drank away my savings 'til
The prophets of a brave new world
Captains of industry
Have visions grand and great designs
But none have room for me
They see a world where everyone
Is rich and smart and young
But if I live to see such things
Too late for me they come
I know I'm not the only one
To fall beneath the wheel
Such company can not assuage
The loneliness I feel
So many are resigned to be
Society's debris
But I will be remembered for
The life life took from me
For I'm not afraid to bend my back
I'm not afraid of dirt
But how I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work

So you wrote a song about me thanks buddy
This is only one of about 80+ songs I know by heart, here is my VR180 Vlog. Note Where is Todd's VR180 Vlog, I thought he was into bleeding edge technologies? Get a Oculus Go to see it (about $200) the camera I used is a Lenovo Mirage, the cheapest VR180 camera out there, I can't wait to see what Todd does with these suckers.. https://youtu.be/aFardsxHKi0?t=219
