Bare Bones

Oh the boss man cometh
Oh he says get back in that hole
Oh find me more of that steel
Oh this is why I buy your time

Oh the tax man cometh
Oh he says your in the hole
Oh all he does is steal
Oh he says all your have is mine

And when they see you they come runnin'
They'll take and take and take all that you own
Don't let them strip you down
Strip you down
To the bare bones
Don't let them strip you down to the bare bones

Oh the law man cometh
Oh he says you're going in the hole
Oh he asks why did you kill
You say that working hard was your only crime

Oh the church man cometh
He says he's here to save your soul
Mmm you notice these old bars of steel
Came from that same old mine

And when they see you they come runnin'
They'll take and take and take all that you own
Don't let them strip you down
Strip you down
To the bare bones
Don't let them strip you down to the bare bones

Soon death will cometh
Oh he'll take us all down in his hole
Then they'll all know how it feels
To be stripped down
To the bare bones
