[1.verse: Twisted Artistics]

It slips by without notice how you get by in life
Then it hits you every now and then, how swiftly time flies
Now I am a carpenter just like the father of my dear ol' mum
'bout time I sharpened up and got my working class hero on
Far from searching for that glamour-life and lavish
Hard working, swinging my hammer to get that cabbage
I rise before the sun
Eat a slice before I run
Then drive sorta numb
Second I arrive the chores' begun
Truck come dropping of a ton and you know it's more to come
Carry the load by hand onto the racks we store it on
All weather we struggle, hands get ruggid, long
Since lost track of how many times I struck my thumb
Lord knows those little nails can be troublesome
Hand's sore, get the lotion, back to work after you rubbed it on
Boss is on your back making shure the job gets done
'till clock strikes half past three, then I'm up and gone
[Hook:]

At work we tend
To eat with dirty hands
We need no charity, we are sturdy men
We get up early and
Head off to earn our ends
These girly trends
We're not concerned with them

[2.verse:]

My boss, he talks funny and fast like bugs bunny
I'm just happy to make a living that's not from drug money
We learn to lift with our legs, heavy loads we carry
Less talk, save your breath, rest only if necessary
That's life in the profession of the most legendary
Man to ever tread this earth, who showed us the very
Way, but hey.. it ain't always easy walking a narrow path
Some days the way colleges are talking arose your wrath
You know they just gotta be running their mouth, making you mad
You know you're gonna wanna throw a fist straight to their gap
But I keep gritting my teeth, keep taking their crap
These crackers gave me a go and I'm mad grateful for that
So I keep manning my post, keep breaking my back
I'm 'a earn every penny, I'm 'a keep stating the facts
Cause though the tongue seems so tiny among the limbs
It's like a helm on big ships that's driven by strong winds
[Hook]
