We're way behind, we're living on the edge of time
We must get rich becoming poor became a crime
Many promises where made but in the end
The first to die has always been the working man

They tell our kids in school it's like that don't ask why
We gotta work until we're old enough to die
The more we learn the more we still don't understand
The first to die has always been the working man

We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
And the last to find the bloody reason why
Again and again since I don't know when
The first to die has always been the working man

To keep your job you have to do the best you can
Building houses for unhandy business men
And when you're all used up nobody gives a damn
The first to die has always been the working man

We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
And the last to find the bloody reason why
Again and again since I don't know when
The first to die has always been the working man

We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
And the last to find the bloody reason why
Again and again since I don't know when
The first to die has always been the working man

We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
And the last to find the bloody reason why
Again and again since I don't know when
The first to die has always been the working man
