Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's laundry spinnin' in machines And hammers breaking heavy things Lunch is packed in paper bags And dirty tables washed with rags Midnight shifters stocking shelves Pouring asphalt, hot as hell That morning paper's at your door Before your feet can hit the floor [Chorus] Now we all wake up to different situations With different collars for our occupations But ever since the world's been in rotation It's been run by humble operations [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Yeah, son Ooh, ooh [Verse 2] Daddy was a workin' man Kept his family fed with calloused hands He wasn't too proud to sweat or bleed And he made damn sure that I could see [Chorus] That we all wake up to different situations With different collars for our occupations But ever since the world's been in rotation It's been run by humble operations [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Yeah, son Ooh, ooh [Bridge] So put your shovel in the dirt, sweat on your shirt Up before the sun, man, just to get it done Hard workin ladies, feeding little babies Workin for a man with all they can Put in overtime for a nickel and a dime If your back is sore, keep your head held high You don't give up, you don't give in And you built the world we're living in [Chorus] Now we all wake up to different situations With different collars for our occupations But ever since the world's been in rotation It's been run by humble operations [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Yeah, son Ooh-ooh, yeah [Outro] So give it up So give it up Give it up
