lyrics

5 am, at the crack of dawn/Gotta catch the, the morning bus/ Another mindless day at the factory/ Because I didn’t have many opportunities/The scrapes, the scars the skin that's coarse/ These are my, my working class hands/Washing dishes, overbearing soap/There’s no clock, or radio to cope /Scrubbing to provide for my family/Because I didn’t have many opportunities/The scrapes, the scars, the skin that's coarse/These are my, my working class hands/ Financial mobility sardonically so out of reach/Perpetual poverty due to elitist policies/No Child Left Behind, pointless tests were standardized/ Public schools with wasted time, the underfunded youth; pariah./ US...Policy...appeases....the symptoms of failure/ But ignores...the root of...the problem...Structural inequality/Danish Flexicurity, Employment stability/Ensured social security, no struggle for meals to eat/Labor market's regulated unemployed get education/The U.S creates alienation resulting in incarcerations.
