[Verse 1]
G D
From the Garden of Eden right on up through today
D G
By the sweat of his brow is how a man's supposed to earn his pay
G D
But the VIP's and the rich folks of this land
D G
Think manual labor ain't nothing but a Mexican
G
Who swam the Rio Grande
G D
Manual labor that old back breaker he
D G
Sure knows how to make a fool out of folks like me
G D
It throws your muscle in hustle and it numbs your brain
D G
Then it hauls you off down the tracks like a runaway train
[Chorus]
C G
Oh manual labor you, you old back breaker you
D G
I must have mistaken you for a true blue friend you've never been
C G
My youth and my good time spent don't know where my money went
D G
I like how the government got more than their share oh well who cares
C G
I'm a gettin on a holy road send a dollar to the TV show
D G
God knows how the money goes when you're saving a soul, big sale on souls
[Instrumental]
