“They Don’t Care at All”
(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
(Verse 1)
I busted my back and ass every day
Missed time with my children for this measly ol' pay
The company thinks we should give 'em our all
Knowin’ damn well they don't care about us at all
(Verse 2)
They preach 'bout loyalty, pride, and the team
While cuttin’ our hours and killin’ our dreams
We bleed for their profits, then get tossed aside
Like a worn-out tool they no longer need to hide
(Chorus)
They don’t see the tears when the bills come due
Or the birthdays missed for a job I had to do
Just a name on a badge, a cog in their chain
Breakin' our backs while they cash in our pain
They smile in our face while they set us to fall
No, they don’t give a damn — they don’t care at all
(Verse 3)
Promised promotions that never came true
While the boss bought a boat and a house with a view
We’re just numbers in a spreadsheet to them
Replaceable souls with calloused hands and grim
(Bridge)
But I still hold on to my pride and my name
Though this system’s rigged, I won’t play their game
'Cause I’ve got my family, my blood, and my soul
Things they could never buy, never control
(Chorus)
They don’t see the tears when the bills come due
Or the birthdays missed for a job I had to do
Just a name on a badge, a cog in their chain
Breakin' our backs while they cash in our pain
They smile in our face while they set us to fall
No, they don’t give a damn — they don’t care at all
(Outro)
So here’s to the workers who give it their best
With nothing but heart pounding under their vest
We ain’t gonna beg, we ain’t gonna crawl
But don’t you forget — they don’t care at all.
