A man will break his back if you just ask him,
he will do anything for you.
Gotta keep all the hungry mouths fed.
There's so much more work to do.
Outside the time passes so slowly,
the bright sun burning overhead.
A man will break his back if you just him.
Gotta keep all the hungry mouths fed.
Why is so much to ask for?
Can't you afford a little more?
And don't tell me that it's not a problem,
That's not what you said before.
Outside they're all slowly dying,
the corpses in the strawberry fields.
They're always selling but nobodies buying,
those kinda bruises just wont heal.
Somewhere the boss hands out the money.
He says 'good job' but he's just lying.
You make a living he makes a killing.
They're always selling but no ones buying.
Why is so much to ask for?
Can't you afford a little more?
And don't tell me that it's not a problem,
That's not what you said before.
At home the children all are playing,
Running around the dusty roads.
The soap can't wash away my failures,
It won't wash the shame out of my clothes.
Sleep is always frequent but not lasting,
Tomorrow brings another load.
I never I would spent my whole life
running around the dusty roads.
Why is so much to ask for?
Can't you afford a little more?
And don't tell me that it's not a problem,
That's not what you said before.
Why is so much to ask for?
Can't you afford a little more?
And don't tell me that it's not a problem,
That's not what you said before.
