about

The ballad of The Tradesman

lyrics

I see how money changes hands
And I am one who understands
And I don't want it all.
'Cause it can't buy the things I need
Like courage, strength or guarantee
That I will not take a fall.

So I'll just do what I do best
And work today, then I'll rest
And if my bank account won't grow
Well, So...

I work for those who have a lot
I thank them for the things I've got
But I've got more than I need
And some are stretched and some are stacked
They'll give the shirt right off their back
But I know that nothing is for free

So I'll just do what I do best
And work today, and then I'll rest
And if my bank account won't grow
Well, So...

I see how money changes hands
And I am one who understands
And I don't want it all
'Cause it can't buy the things I need
Like self-respect and dignity
So I can walk instead of crawl

So I'll just do what I do best
And work today, and then I'll rest
And if my bank account won't grow
Well, So...
I'll do my best, complete the task
The I.R.S. can kiss my ass
And if my bank account won't grow, well So...
And if my bank account won't grow, well So
Round and round and round I go
And where I land I do not know
Bartender, please point me back home.
