The Rebel Black Dot Labor Song o' the Day

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The Bricklayer's Story" from Pin Points and Gin Joints (Rude Boy Mike Papa Worker)

Skammentary:
"…Don't believe a word of it,
But the one thing that I'm sure about is this:

"A lifetime lifting cinderblocks,
Stacking bricks, and mixing mortar,
Gave this man his crooked walk
And kept his life in order.
A lifetime lifting cinderblocks,
Stacking bricks, and mixing mortar,
Gave this man his crooked walk,
Gave this man his crooked walk,
Gave this man his crooked walk,
And made his lifetime shorter."
