Jay and the cooks - Frontline Worker Blues Lyrics

Aïcha died at the age of 53
a senior cashier
At the local grocery store
A Respected, sociable
Union woman from the start
She got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues
She got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues

Doctor Raza died at 63
hell with retirement
Back to the emergency room
Kids pleaded “daddy don’t”
“daddy don’t go back to work”
He got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues
He got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues

Fat cats go golfing
And give orders from the green
pushing workers back
to the slaughterhouse
People clap at their windows
In camaraderie

But they all will soon forget,
they all will soon forget
The frontline worker’s fate
Frontline worker blues

Jason died at 50 years of age
A city bus driver
Just doing his job
He cursed that lady
who coughed directly in his face
He got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues
He got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues

Going to work
Could bring about be the end
Just doing the job
is the decent thing to do
Invisible courage
Brave to the end

They got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues
They got the Frontline
Frontline worker Blues
