Primus - Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers lyrics

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

Hise 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 finalize 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
