PRIMUS - Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers lyrics

rate me

I've seen down in Soco they're pounding sixteen penny nails,

truckers on the interstate have been known to ride the rails,

the sweat is beating on the brow,

can't keep these fellas down cause,

those damned blue-collar tweekers are running this here town.

I knew a man who hung drywall,

he hung it mighty quick,

a trip or two to the blue room would help him do the trick,

the foreman would pat him on the back whenever he would come around,

cause these damned blue-collar tweekers are beloved in this town.

Now the union boys are all there to protect us from all the corporate type,

while curious george's drug patrol is out there hunting snipe,

now they try to tell me different but you know I ain't no clown,

cause those damned blue-collar tweekers they're the backbone of this town.

Now the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long,

my eyes are growing weary as I finalize this song,

So sit back and have a cup of joe and watch the wheels go round,

cause these damned blue-collar tweekers have always run this town.
