[D#m] I'm not afraid to bend my -
And I'm not afraid of dirt
But how I [C#m] fear the things I do
For lack of honest
[N] work
My f- is lost to me
They could not bear the [C#m]
hurt
To see the state their girl [F#] is [G#m] in
[C#m] For lack of honest [B] work
I hold no blame for anyone
T'was I who did arrange
To pay my union dues
So I'd not have to learn or change
And what's replaced was I
[C#] Who started down the hill
And drank away my savings till
[B] I couldn't [F#] stop [B] myself
The profits of a brave new world
Captains of industry
Have visions grand and great design
But none have room for me
They see a world where everyone
[G#m] Is rich and smart and young
But [G] if I live [B] to see such [Em]
things
[F#] Too late for me they come
Now I know I'm not the only one
Too far beneath the wheel
Such company cannot assuage
[B] The loneliness I feel
So many are resigned [G#m] to be
Societies to breed
But I will be remembered for
[C#] Life, [G#m] life took from me
Now I'm not afraid to bend my
And I'm not afraid of
[N]
How I fear the things I do
For lack of honest work
How I fear the things I do
