When the cold sets in and your fingertips crack You can't get no relief from the hitch in your back It's hard to believe that you thought it'd be fine You didn't even mind when you signed the dotted line Your bed has been made there ain't no excuse That's where you gotta lay cause everybody pays their dues It's only called work they never call it fun Now you gotta get to work it's gotta get done I could've been a lawyer a doctor or such But from myself I never really expected so much So it's up in the morning gone until five And I'm drinking so much in between it's not even right Too much work tends to make a man mean When every single day is just the same old routine You dig a pit you fill it you make it a mound Then you pack it all up and it's off to another town Another day another dime Puts the bodies in the pit and you cover them up with lye You're working by nine drinking by five It takes a whole lotta bodies just to keep one man alive So when the cold sets in and your fingertips crack You can't get no relief from the hitch in your back It's hard to believe that you thought it'd be fine You didn't even mind when you signed the dotted line It never gets better it only gets worse To be gainfully employed is both a blessing and a curse Sometimes you gotta dig deep it's a test of your will When them bodies back up 'cause your pit got filled Another day another dime Puts the bodies in the pit and you cover them up with lye You're working by nine drinking by five It takes a whole lotta bodies just to keep one man alive
