gray paint peels from a broken wall the engines have stopped turning no shouts heard from the foreman's call you're outta work and you're learning walk before you run or you're gonna fall but before I lend a hand I wanna see you try to stand prove you're worth it dignity and pride cherished by the ones who've earned it though many fought and died at least they tried what's made of a man who helps himself his fortune is made not given lazy men have no right to share his wealth leeches suck for a living only those who stand reach the highest shelf
