We run down working 40 a week
We run down working 50 a week
We run down working 60 a week
For 20 straight years making each bone creek
We run down, we run down
Yeah, all of suckers, we all run down
We run down working 40 a week
We run down working 50 a week
We run down working 60 a week
The cash incentive is the devil’s speak
We run down, we run down
Yeah, all of suckers, we all run down
We run down working 40 a week
We run down working 50 a week
We run down working every day of the week
Still unable to make ends meet
We run down, we run down
Struggling through life, we’re all run down
We run down working 40 a week
We run down working 30 a week
We run down working 20 a week
They’ll take us out in one clean sweep
We run down, we run down
With nothing left, we’ll soon be gone
