Nobody Asks

Verse 1

Alarm cuts the morning in half

Boots on before my eyes are awake

Boss wants numbers I ain't got yet

Kids need shoes and the rent won't wait

Mama calls worried I don't call back

I say I'm fine I'm a liar for pay

Pre-Chorus

Bills stack high

Back stays low

Grit my teeth and go

Chorus

What a man can do

What a man can do

Carry the weight till the weight carries through

What a man can do

What a man can do

Nobody asks how the man's getting through

Post-Chorus

Push push push

Hold hold hold

Push push push

Hold hold hold

Verse 2

Foreman yells louder than the machines

I bite my tongue till it tastes like steel

Twelve hours gone and I'm still on my feet

Nobody sees what the paycheck steals

Dreams get folded neat in a drawer

Hope gets buried beneath the overtime

Pre-Chorus

Chest feels tight

Hands feel cold

Grind my teeth and go

Chorus

What a man can do

What a man can do

Carry the weight till the weight carries through

What a man can do

What a man can do

Nobody asks how the man's getting through

Post-Chorus

Push push push

Hold hold hold

Push push push

Hold hold hold

Bridge

I break I bend I bleed

Still stand

I break I bend I bleed

Still stand

Tell me who catches the man when he falls

Tell me who answers when nobody calls

Chorus

What a man can do

What a man can do

Carry the weight till the weight carries through

What a man can do

What a man can do

Nobody asks how the man's getting through

Post-Chorus

Push push push

Hold hold hold

Push push push

Hold hold hold
