A Bigger Point of Pride
You, Me, and Everyone We Know

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.

Grow up, get a job, and cut that hair.
Run off, join the army for all they care,
Or bring a blanket; it gets awfully cold
When you can't afford the heat and you're sleepin' alone.

Love living life from couch to couch;
Thought myself content living hand to mouth.
But when everything you own fits in a single bag,
No matter how light the load, it tends to drag.

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.

Momma said there'd be days like this
But she's been too late too much this year.
(Momma said, Momma said)
Waking up when I was going to sleep before;
Bars are closing, I'm already out the door.
No semblance of stability
On old runner's legs in doubt.
I still even have the ability
To run this race without
My sacrifice... Recognize...

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.

I make junk mail for The Man
Soon I'll be inking up your hands
While you toss away my work
Machines whir and I make plans
I make junk mail for The Man
I've been inking up your hands
While your sacrifice goes unrecognized...

[Instrumental Break w/ group oohs & aahs]

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.

While the years are still on my side,
My back is strong, my eyes are wide.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.
I want the work I do to be a bigger point of pride.
