Lyrics
Give it Up
stand all day in the hot sun
make a wage till the day is done
take my check, take out a loan
take it down to the bone
got to give me a reason
Tighten my belt , keep on giving
this car is out of gas
This train is running off the tracks
Give it up , Give it up
paper money won't hold
Give it up, Give it up
you can't hide behind your gold
Give it up , give it up
tell me no more overtime
stand fast hold the line
I am not a union man
no need to shake my hand
Sqeeze blood from a stone
stray dog go on home
eighteen whells out of gas
This train is running off the tracks
Give it up, Give it up ...
