Worksongs

Working people in the midst
Of painting life in the commons,
Breaking communal bread,
Sharing life sustaining.

Beads that... You cannot string like pearls.
Screams that... are harnessed into verse.
Worksongs... that help a steady space.
Working, working
Must finish before the day breaks.

Working is a gift,
I accept this humble notion,
Have me carry in it:
Respect, fair wages.

Beads that... You cannot string like pearls.
Screams that... are harnessed into verse.
Worksongs... that help a steady space.
Working, working
Must finish before the day breaks.

Hoy, live with emotion,
Resist the submission.
Help me to feel alive...
Hoy

Work, work, work, work,
Work, work, work, work,

Beads that... You cannot string like pearls.
Screams that... are harnessed into verse.
Worksongs... that help a steady space.
Working, working
Must finish before the day breaks.

Beads that... You cannot string like pearls.
Screams that... are harnessed into verse.
Worksongs... Hey-ya
Hoy

Work, work, work, work,
Work, work, work, work...
