Manual labor isn't for me So I freed myself from the farms drudgery I'm a classical scholar and a fine linguist Emancipate yourself from being the definition of living breathing machinist You can get free if you want to All you have to do is use your mind, Pay your dues, Expand your intellect, Earn respect I wasn't born to assemble on a factory line, Lotta yellow boys never put that to mind Never will Never dared to dream So they perspire as another part of the machine
