BLUE COLLAR

I’m just a Blue Collar
just a humble working man
with hands and arms of steel
just like many others, who worked thru out this land

Had to quit school at an early age
to begin working with the tools
brown bagging it every day
bringing home the bacon, instead of going to school

Dirty hands, and steel tip shoes
may be soon to turn a new page
walked to work, or took the bus
a hero of the industrial age

Blue Collar work, slowly being replaced
big tech and computers, everyone working at home
machinery and factories, slowly disappearing
no more phone booths, being replaced by cell phones

Blue Collars, soon to be replaced by the Momma Lukes
many still live with their mommas at home,
never knowing about a hard day’s work,
only interested in playing video games, or texting on their phones

Blue Collars, Blue Collars
never afraid to express how they feel
many went off to serve, and always stand for the flag
but they never ever, never kneel

Blue Collars, Blue Collars
heroes of the past
may they never go away
may they forever last
