"Dan"
by Bogle

I'm pleased to meet you, my Dan,
and I'm an working man
A badge, they tell me,
but it's one I wear pride
A fair day's work for a fair pay,
I've always lived my life way
But now I help thinking,
I've been taken for a

Those hard years on the floor,
toilin' in the roar,
that me old before my time,
my hearing and my health
And when I up the cost,
what I've gained to what lost
I ask now Dan,
what's the total of wealth?
Just how much is your life

I live in a house I'll own,
could never get a loan
Bank and suchlike,
rate the likes of me
Feeding three on a fitter's wage,
I've always it hard to save
And an honest working man
count as equity

All those of toil and sweat,
in and out of debt
I look back on them
and ask for what?
A rented house on a grimy
An endless fight to make meet
you add it all together,
it don't seem a lot
But it's all that got

But a man's can't be judged alone
by he has or what he owns
It's he loves and cares for
that gives it
And what meaning to my life
are my kids and my wife
We've always together,
always being a

Now my are rotting on the dole,
holding out the beggar's
I see the in their eyes,
it cuts me to the
and shall I simply stand
while my kids are slowly
all I've worked and cared for
as it slowly apart
by Christ, I won't do that

I'm pleased to meet you, my Dan,
and I'm an honest man
A tarnished badge, tell me,
but one I wear with pride
A fair work for a fair day's pay,
I've always lived my that way
But now I can't thinking,
I've been for a ride

And though I ain't got to spare,
what I have I'm going to
To my kids and other kids,
purpose, pride, and place
And you leeches, fat on my sweat,
I promise you I won't
When I asked you if you'd the load,
you laughed right in my
Yes, you right in my face

I'm pleased to meet you, my Dan,
and I'm an honest man
