lyrics

Where have all the good men gone
they're in Hershey's Cookies n' Creme bars ma
dream big little kid if you work real hard
you can grow up to be
big and strong just like me

and I'm nobody's salt of the earth
salt that wound and make sure that it hurts
cause I can't tell who's who anymore
when we're all just covered in dirt
dirty words on a couple of dirty shirts
and I'm worn out by the worn out by the world

a tidal wave of dark brown hair
it pulls me in but I don't care
and if this is drowning then life is fair
though it burns in my lungs
undertoe on my tongue

and I was born with the name of a saint
but jesus christ is gonna prove that I aint
and I wonder what'll give it away
everyday everyday

and now the earth could not support the meek
so God created the working week
and kid you'll inherit that
and so I know that it's a sign of time
that I feel broken down
if you're still standing tall
they'll send in the wrecking ball

and I'm nobody's salt of the earth
salt that wound and make sure that it hurts
cause I can't tell who's who anymore
when we're all just covered in dirt
dirty words on a couple of dirty shirts
and I'm worn out by the worn out by the world
