Loyal hands, striving hearts
race, skip to do better
do it harder do it faster

do it harder do it faster

you don't seem to hear it
doesn't look like you see it

not until the machine stops
when the drumming stops
your solemn for a moment

but it's easier to forget, isn't it
and push on

push on again
move forward faster harder
then the beat goes on

never mind the strained eyes
looking at you trying to understand
don't see the clenched jaws
or the lines on their faces running deeper

No don't look
at their backs hunched
or the worn out soles of the shoes

as the knees bend for your dollars
not a dollar more
if the knee cracks
or the face hits the floor

when the blood shows
or if the drum stops
you will see it
you'll hear it

just for a moment
then push again
and the beat goes on
