If you start to think that it's all over now

That the work you have done has been lost somehow

You wake up hungry in this world you've made

So much so how could you be turned away

Under thunder we drove through a black sky

Paved with the threat we might die, oh we were so afraid

You can throw your body up against the glass but you can't stop the rain

From pouring in once the cracks have been made

But there's still time to sing

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Who could stay sleepin' when that garbage man came?

He stormed up the street 'cause we called out his name

With the sounds of us choking on the mess that's been made

Dig us out from this slumber

We've given salt, we've sweated off, done all this and more

So heed when you hear us knockin' on your door

We don't want to be the currency gets spent on war

And then come home wondering what was it all for

That's no way to sing

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

We been hard hard working

We've got a plan

Send home dollar bills

And fistfuls of honey

We've been working working for that money
