From the recording My Daily Bread
Lyrics
How many seconds, how many minutes
How many hours, how many days?
Next week my rent is due, gotta make it through
On minimum wage
We watch your kids, we wash your car
We blow the leaves out of your yard
We paint your walls we built your house
And they wanna build a wall to keep us out
Baby’s milk and mama’s pills
Working two jobs to pay my bills
Just can’t seem to get ahead
Chasin’ down my daily bread
I help you and you help me
That’s how the Golden Rule should be
Babysitter’s sick, gonna lose a day
That left front tire will have to wait
We milk your cows, we pick your fruit
We press your pretty business suit
They say we’re blessed but we feel meek
When one bad tooth costs us a week
Baby’s milk and mama’s pills
Working two jobs to pay my bills
Just can’t seem to get ahead
Chasin’ down my daily bread
How many seconds, how many minutes
How many hours, how many days?
Next week my rent is due, gotta make it through on
Minimum wage
How many seconds, how many minutes
How many hours, how many days?
Next week my rent is due, gotta make it through on
Minimum wage
Next week my rent is due, gotta make it through on
Minimum wage
