SLAVE TO THE GRIND
LATE AT NIGHT I'D HEAR THOSE ENGINES SCREAM
DOING DOUBLE TIME ON THAT UPHILL GRADE
MY DAD HE WORKED ON THE RAILROAD LINE
UNCOMPLAINING NOT A SOUND HE MADE
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T PUT TIME IN THE MILL
OR GO DOWN IN THE PIT
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T WORK ON THE LINE
ONE LIFE TO LIVE AND I WON'T SUBMIT
DAY BY DAY THE WHEELS OF POWER TURN
GRINDING SOFTLY WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD
MY MAMA WORKED FOR THE GOVERNMENT
COMPROMISING NOT A WORD SHE SAID
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T PUT TIME IN THE MILL
OR GO DOWN IN THE PIT
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T WORK ON THE LINE
ONE LIFE TO LIVE AND I WON'T SUBMIT
IF THEY HAD A DREAM I NEVER KNEW
HAD THEIR JOB RESPONSIBILITY
SOMETHING THEY HAD TO DO
EVERY NIGHT THOSE ENGINES THEY WOULD SCREAM
HAULING LOADS ON THAT UPHILL GRADE
EVERY DAY THE WHEELS OF POWER TURN
GRINDING SLOWLY WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO DREAM
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T PUT TIME IN THE MILL
OR GO DOWN IN THE PIT
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T WORK ON THE LINE
ONE LIFE TO LIVE NO
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T PUT TIME IN THE MILL
OR GO DOWN IN THE PIT
SLAVE TO THE GRIND I WON'T WORK ON THE LINE
ONE LIFE TO LIVE AND I WON'T SUBMIT
SLAVE TO THE GRIND NO NOT ME
SLAVE TO THE GRIND NO I WON'T BE
SLAVE TO THE GRIND NO NOT I
