elizabeth petty and bill white - Never their Dream

from True Voices by Bill White

/

lyrics

V1
changing diapers
during late night TV
cleaning bathrooms
doing childcare
at fifteen
popping popcorn
selling high priced food
cleaning bathrooms
working concessions
at sixteen

C
through the years
when they were in need
their hard work
kept bathrooms clean
mopping dirty floors
scrubbing toilets and sinks
wiping away waste
of humanity
it was never
their dream

V2
deep frying food
serving ice cream
cleaning bathrooms
working fast food
at fifty
washing dishes
making casseroles
cleaning bathrooms
in cafes and hotels
at sixty

C
through the years
when they were in need
their hard work
kept bathrooms clean
mopping dirty floors
scrubbing toilets and sinks
wiping away waste
of humanity
it was never
their dream

B
they clean up after you and me
without thanks from society
low paid jobs, little respect
they are those we can’t forget
hardworking teens to elderly
show them grace and dignity
give them reasons to believe
with means to chase dreams

C
through the years
when they were in need
their hard work
kept bathrooms clean
mopping dirty floors
scrubbing toilets and sinks
wiping away waste
of humanity
it was never
their dream
