Generate meaning
1
One step forward and two steps back
2
Been carrying them bricks upon my back
3
Bossman told me you ain't getting paid
4
'til the house is built and the bricks are laid
5
It's made out of wood, made out of stone
6
I'm building that man a fancy home
7
That's the way it is let me tell you jack
8
It's one step forward and two steps back
9
Working man he got a row to hoe
10
He's up in the morning and down the road
11
Carry them bricks and carry that stone
12
Making that man a fancy home
13
Rich man he don't work no more
14
Talks on the phone to his stockbroker
15
That's the way it is let me tell you jack
16
It's one step forward and two steps back
17
Well I'm not a thinking man you see
18
And I'm not looking for no sympathy
19
But one of these days I'll get my fill
20
Be down the road and over the hill
21
I won't carry them bricks again
22
And I won't do it for any man
23
If I use my brain instead of my back
24
I'll be two steps forward and one step back
25
That's the way it is let me tell you jack
26
It's one step forward and two steps back
