Fit Against the Country - Horse Feathers

Common weather comes with a name

And our knees our hands got the shakes

Cause when our backs about to break

We won’t howl out or cry

We know we feel we try

In the middle of an everlasting fight

Every night we all go to a house we’ll never own

Every night we are tired

We’ve been worked to the bone

But nearly everyday we earn a lower wage

Does it tell you what we’re made of

Or are we just what we’re paid?

It’s a hard country we made

Here we are, far beyond our means

Learnin how to trade love for things

Theres a debt we can’t pay

What kind of life’s lived this way

See our hands they praise

Telling us we are to pray

Nearly every day it was a darker kind of way

The color we all knewthis world

The deepest shade of gray

Every night we all go to a house we’ll never own

Every night we are tired

We’ve been worked to the bone

But nearly everyday we earn a lower wage

Does it tell you what we’re made of

Or are we just what we’re paid?

It’s a hard country we made

We won’t howl out or cry

We know we feel that we try

What kind of life’s lived this way?

See our hands they praise
