Somebody's making the trains
Run on time
Yeah, they're laying the tracks
On your back
Your back and mine
And they're paying no heed
Oh, they're paying no mind
'Cause it's way too late for me
They laid me under the line
Oh, they said that working
Working, working
Is gonna make me free
I wish that could have been
A possibility
'Cause if I worked any cheaper
I'd be working for free
Oh, but they said that all that work
Was gonna make me free
They saved my body
For the end of the line
Yeah, and you know that the last spike driven
Would have to be mine
Well, there's a bad conductor
There's a new engineer
Yeah, and what their motive is
Ain't exactly clear
So they lay up fresh tracks
That look better than new
Yeah, and if you don't speak your mind right now
They're gonna lay 'em over you
They're making the trains
Run on time
Yeah, they're laying the tracks
On your back
Your back and mine
They're making the trains
Run on time
Yeah, they're laying the tracks
On your back
Your back and mine
They're making the trains
Run on time
Yeah, they're laying the tracks
On your back
Your back and mine
They're making the trains
Run on time
Yeah, they're laying the tracks
On your back
Your back and mine
