THEY DON’T PAY ME

Come to this town
Two months ago
Got me a job
Brother don’t you know  
They don’t pay me
Hey hey, they don’t pay 

Work like a dog
Finger to bone 
Come to find out
When I get home  
They don’t pay me
Hey hey, they don’t pay 

I try to make it up
On a Saturday night  
But there ain’t enough booze
To make it right
And they don’t pay me
Hey hey, they don’t pay 

How can you say
I got myself to blame  
When every town
I go is just the same
From Pontiac Michigan
Down to Sugarland  
Ain’t a soul that I meet
That don’t understand  
They don’t pay you
Hey hey they don’t pay 

Factory floor
Air’s full of fumes
Ain’t a single fan
In the whole damn room
And they don’t pay me
Hey man they don’t pay 

I work 40 hours
Can’t feed my kid  
But you keep tellin me
It’s something I did
But you don’t pay me
Hey hey you don’t pay 

I went to join the union
But the union’s gone  
I ain’t gonna make it here
On my own  
From California
To The Gulf of Mexico
Ain’t a soul that I meet
That don’t know
They don’t pay you
Hey hey, they don’t pay  

You heard about trouble
In the Book of Job
But people breaking down
Wherever I go  
And they don’t pay me
Hey man they don’t pay   

Trouble may come
Trouble may go
One thing for certain
Brother don’t you know
They don’t pay you
Hey hey, they don’t pay
