There are some jobs that we
turn our heads and don't see.
picking fruit on our knees,
for the money Jesus makes.
We are quick with the blame,
that they're taking our jobs,
cause they'll work for less pay,
and they're drug dealers, some say.
If they all went away,
by the end of today,
would you do the work,
or would you say no way.
Gail might do the same job, but
not for the same pay.
So the bread, milk and fruit,
Will cost more the next day.
