The Grind Lyrics by Tommy Bolin

Teaser

1975

I walked all day tryin to find me work
I must have knocked on one hundred doors
Would have swallowed my pride for some money
And be satisfied sweepin' the floors
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold
I spent last night asleep on a park bench
'til a cop came and moved me along
Told him I was not botherin' nobody
Yes he told me I was to go
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold
Everywhere, I get the same kind of answer
Not now or maybe then
Well me time is runnin' out on me people, yes me people
If you're down and without a friend
Yeah, yeah
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold
Mr. Government-man
Mr. Silver-and-gold
Mr. Bustin'-my-ass
Mr. All-you-can-hold...
