can you sing me a song about digging oh i can sing while i m breaking my back can you tell me how you get out of hell one limb at a time can you take it back home i can t last another day in the hole i will can you tell me how just what are you you working for can you sign me the song of your lifetime i ll sing for my family as hard as i sing for you stay in the hole as long as your father stayed in till i can t breathe a breath what s the going rate on industrial slavery these days who knows it pays with the walls caving in on you
