[Verse 1]
G Well I’ve been working here for fifteen years C G and I’ve seen some changes come. G I’ve seen some Okies called Californians, A7 D I’ve seen some poets called bums. G I’ve seen people working for safety, C G there must be a reason why. G C G Maybe we just come to work here, D G We don’t come to die.
[Verse 2]
G I would like to end up with all of my fingers, C G I don’t want my brain to get numb G I would like to have my ears when retirement nears, A7 D I'd like to hear that applause come. G And I’d like to see my grand-children, C G Be able to pick them up when they cry. G C G D G That’s why I just come to work here, I don’t come to die.
[Chorus]
C Cause if it’s always level on the floor where you’re working G and your telephone is OSHA approved, C When you tell me how much you’re spending on safety, A7 D pardon me if I’m not moved. G C G Ever since 1970 the law has been on my side. G C G D G That's why we just come to work here, we don’t come to die.
[Verse 3]
G Now I’ll be the pitcher, and you can be the batter; C G you know that’s just the old ball game. G But when the line starts popping and that load starts dropping, A7 D our situations not the same. G And I’m not saying that you don’t care, C G I’m not saying that you don’t try. G C G I’m saying: "we just come to work here, D G We don’t come to die."
[Verse 4]
G Now you and I know that the things that aren’t code C G could be fixed with relative ease. G A7 D But we never did get anything by asking on our knees. G So now we’re looking you straight in the eye, C G shoulder to shoulder and side by side. G C G We’re saying: "we just come to work here, D G we don’t come to die."
[Chorus]
C Cause if it’s always level on the floor where you’re working G and your telephone is OSHA approved, C When you tell me how much you’re spending on safety, A7 D pardon me if I’m not moved. G C G Ever since 1970 the law has been on my side. G C G D G That's why we just come to work here, we don’t come to die. G C G That's why we just come to work here, mister, D G We don’t come to die.
