"Blood Sweat And Love" lyrics

Alright!
Hey!

Workin' this assembly line
Gettin' by with overtime
Tax man's got a hold on me
And, brother, he won't let me be

Broken backs and callous hands
Well, tell me how, ain't that a man
In four years I'll be thirty-one
Maybe then I'll have my fun

I know it's sounding crazy
'Cause you don't understand
No one here gets nothing
With nothing in his hands

It takes blood, sweat and love
If you wanna make it, baby
Blood, sweat and love
Sure does

Walkin' with a ball and chain
Could really drive a man insane
I'd change my job for a life of crime
But no one here has got a dime
Not no one

Sometimes makes you wonder
Makes you wanna shout
Yeah, I could surely run away
But there's only one way out

Blood, sweat and love
If you wanna make it, baby
Blood, sweat and love

Every night, I'm so damn tired
But I can't get myself no rest, no
Gotta fight to sleep
Gotta fight to eat
Baby, it's one hell of a mess, yeah
It's a bloody mess, babe

Every night, I'm so damn tired
I can't get myself no rest, no
Gotta fight to sleep
Gotta fight to eat
Baby, it's one hell of a mess
Yeah, yeah, oh...

Blood, sweat and love
If you wanna make it, baby
Blood, sweat and love
Don't let it fool ya, baby

Blood, sweat and love
If you wanna make it, baby, yeah!
Blood, sweat and love, yeah, yeah

It takes blood, sweat, and love!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!
