Too Old to Work, Too Young to Die Lyrics

Too Old To Work lyrics by Joe Glazer
You work in the factory, all of your life
Try to provide, for your kids and your wife
When you get too old, to produce any more
They hand you your hat, and they show you the door
Chorus:
Too old to work, too old to work
Too old to work and you’re too young to die
Who will take care of you, how’ll you get by
When you’re too old to work and you’re too young to die
You don’t ask for favours, when your life is through
You’ve got a right, to what’s coming to you
Your boss gets a pension, when he is too old
You helped him retire – you’re out in the cold

Chorus
They put horses to pasture, they feed them on hay
Even machines, get retired some day
The bosses get pensions when their days are through
Fat pensions for them, brother: nothing for you
Chorus
There’s no easy answer, there’s no easy cure
Dreaming won’t change it, that’s one thing for sure
But fighting together, we’ll get there some day
And when we have won, we will no longer say….
Chorus
