about

Hard work is boring. And hard.

lyrics

I ain't gonna work 'til I'm in my grave,
I ain't no houseboy, ain't no slave!
Goin' right to the top, with holes in my shoes,
I ain't gonna pay no dues!

Gonna walk right up to the big boss man
say "I don't want nothin' out yer greasy hand!
You ain't got a damn thing I can use
And I ain't gonna pay no dues!"

I ain't gonna pay
Ain't gonna pay
I know what your thinkin'
I know what they say.....
But buddy there ain't no way.

I ain't gonna walk on the well-trodden trail,
Everyday work is like being in jail!
Light me on up, and pass me the booze
I ain't gonna pay no dues!

Gonna blaze me a path like a forest fire
And just when you thought I can't get no higher
Gonna strap myself in
And light that fuse....
I ain't gonna pay no dues!
