[Intro]
Yeah, we've been down here in the dirt, digging our own way
While them high and mighty, they just count their pay
[Verse 1]
Busted trucks and calloused hands, that's how we roll
Workin' dawn till sunset, gritty bones, tired soul
They talk about progress, but don’t forget our name
While Washington's pockets swell, they forget our pain
[Pre-Chorus]
We sweat for our families, we bleed for this land
Standing tall, though we ain’t got much, but we understand
[Chorus]
We’re the blue collar backbone, working through the night
Payin’ dues, not complainin’, keepin’ freedom in sight
While the city folks get richer, we keep this old dream alive
Blue collar, true and steady, just trying to survive
[Verse 2]
Steel-toe boots on concrete, dreams carved in stone
Every dollar earned’s another thread in the fabric we own
They’re sittin’ in fancy offices, countin’ what they ain’t seen
While we count on muscle, grit, and the strength of our own means
[Pre-Chorus]
We're steady on this land, till the last day of sun
With honor in our hearts, knowing that we've just begun
[Chorus]
We’re the blue collar backbone, working through the night
Payin’ dues, not complainin’, keepin’ freedom in sight
While the city folks get richer, we keep this old dream alive
Blue collar, true and steady, just trying to survive
[Bridge]
It’s not about hatred, just a simple call
For fairness on this ground, for the pride of us all
Welfare and riches, they’re a double-edged sword
We just want a fair shot, that’s what this song’s for
[Outro]
So here's to the workers, hands rough and proud
Holding on to freedom, singing our loud
While Washington grows fat, we stay strong and true
Blue collar forever, red, white, and blue
selfhatred
