You load sixteen tons
What do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
Everything comes and goes
Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
Things that you held high
And told yourself were true
Lost or changing as the days come down to you...
When you cut the lights out think of me
When you cut the lights out think of all the things you can't see
But are they real?
That face will be revealed ~~
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
No trading places on the chain gang
It doesn't matter how you swing it
Everybody wants the same thing...
I can’t explain it
What you do to me
I get so excited when you call my name
I’m not ashamed (ah ah)
Ashamed to let the whole world see
Oh girl just what you do to me
Well I’m like a child that’s lost his way
So won’t you help me?
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
There's just no reason to hurt
You've got to lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
I said
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
