Primus - Those Damned Blue-collar Tweekers




I`ve seen them out at Soco
They`re pounding sixteen penny nails
The truckers on the interstate
Have been known to ride the rails
The sweat is beating on the brow
Can`t keep these fellas down
`Cause those damned blue-collared tweekers
Are runnin` this here town

I knew a man who hung drywall
He hung it mighty quick
A trip or two to the blue room
Would help him do the trick
His foreman would pat him on the back
Whenever he would come around
`Cause these dammed blue-collar tweekers
Are beloved in this here town

Now the union boys are there
To protect us from all the corporate type
While curious George`s drug patrol
Is out here hunting snipe
Now they try to tell me different
But you know I ain`t no clown
`Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers
Are the backbone of this town

Now the flame that burns twice as bright
Burns only half as long
My eyes are growing weary
As I f inalize this song
So sit back and have a cup o` joe
And watch the wheels go round
`Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers
Have always run this town
