It Happens All the Time

I used to sing My Country Tis Of Thee
Walking on fightin’ side of me
I was a puppet on a string
In a world full of string
You better watch what you’re looking for
Wrap your hands around a 2×4
Are you ready to go door to door
‘Cause it happens all the time

I used to trust that garden would not grow
The wildflower blooms where the hard wind blows
And it’s hard for me to understand
The blood on the hands of the working man
You better watch what you’re looking for
Wrap your hands around a 2×4
Are you ready to go door to door
‘Cause it happens all the time

I don’t wanna take my life in my hands
Every time I have to talk to the man
And it happens all the time

It’s your job, it’s my life
I go to jail, you go home to your wife
And try and kill the rest of the day
While I waste away
You better watch what you’re looking for
Wrap your hands around a 2×4
Are you ready to go door to door
It happens all the time
