[00:19.025] When the foreman came
[00:20.551] He helped me understand
[00:23.672] That my destiny
[00:25.382] Was mortar in the Almighty’s hand
[00:29.143] Then they shipped my ass
[00:30.848] And they worked me place to place
[00:34.472] Then delivered me
[00:36.488] In the combines as a ward of the state
[00:39.515]
[00:40.719] Mm, come to find me
[00:44.063] I’m here today but don’t belong
[00:46.062] I’m working ’til the debt is gone
[00:48.534] The upside of it
[00:49.760] The upside of it
[00:54.279] But in a most familiar way
[01:00.755] I’m begging you to understand
[01:02.808] I try to be a decent man
[01:04.853] The upside of it
[01:06.962] The upside of it
[01:08.309]
[01:11.453] Night work shattered me with overtime
[01:15.388] And they fined me
[01:17.310] White kids say they sympathise
[01:20.419] But they’re afraid to look me in the eyes
[01:23.107]
[01:24.283] Up up up up up in the sky some place
[01:30.157] I got treasures up in heaven
[01:32.481] And the state just takes the rest
[01:34.410]
[01:35.320] I been working at the sawmill down in Kinleith
[01:38.740] For some time
[01:40.832] I’m gonna save for my own furniture and kitchen
[01:44.657] Down the line
[01:46.543] But they make it hard to pay for things
[01:49.306] Outside of cigarettes
[01:51.593] Mm- it’s just the jobs we’re in
[01:54.136] Well alright then
[01:55.880] And amen
[01:56.945]
[01:59.345] Come to find me!
[02:01.679] I’m here today but don’t belong
[02:03.731] I’m working ’til the debt is gone
[02:05.712] The upside of it
[02:07.384] The upside of it
[02:12.124] And in a most familiar way
[02:18.498] I’m begging you to understand
[02:20.040] I try to be a decent man
[02:22.418] The upside of it
[02:23.805] The upside of it
[02:29.209]
[02:29.706] In the unrelieved serenity back home
[02:34.291] I wonder how they talk of me
[02:39.383] Do I send the card with mountains on?
[02:44.132] Or the one with all the riot police?
[02:46.243]
[02:47.353] I don’t open doors for the uniform
[02:49.924] Skulking shadows
[02:52.588] That break in at the dawn time
[02:54.391] To haul us away
[02:55.974] Do you know how it feels?
[02:57.906] I can recite every libel
[03:02.454] And terrible thing I get
[03:05.140] ‘Cos I built this place
[03:11.218]
[03:12.710] Alrighty!
[03:15.010] I’m here until I don’t belong
[03:17.462] I’m working ’til the debt is gone
[03:19.399] The upside of it
