V1.
The morning comes down like a hammer. It's all you can do anymore
To drag yourself down to the east side of town and back through the factory door.
Your daddy was also a fighter who struggled and worked like a slave,
And like your father before, you wish you had more
But there's nothing left over to save.
There's nothing left over to save.
____________

CHORUS:
You give up your life. You pray in the night.
You try making better what can't be made right.
Brother, it's all in knowing that you are a part of the faithful.
You're steady in will. You won't fall apart.
When nothing is pure, there is good in your heart.
Brother, it's all in knowing that you are a part of the faithful.

V2.
Now lawyers, and governors, and bankers - they'll lie 'til they're up to the knees.
You're begging for crumbs, but they are not the ones who were put here to help you believe.
You give what you can to your brothers. You give what you got to your friends.
You give what you can to the ones you don't know and they give back to you in the end.
It'll come back to you in the end.
