Lyrics

The giver of life’s tryin' to take it away
In the desert you always feel half-dead
Trapped in the Akhe-nettin' there’s no forgettin'
Where it is we come from
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
She’s a tall drink of water upon the palanquin
She’s outta my league still I can’t help thinkin'
I got me a job, I’m gonna get 'er done
You get crazy ideas
Underneath the cruel old sun
Baby, out here it sure is hot
And I can’t help but notice what you got
Now that slavedriver man, he never gonna understand
And the years get swallowed up by the sand
The giver of life’s gonna blow us away
In the dessert you always feel half-dead
Trapped in the Akhe-nettin' there’s no forgettin'
Where it is we come from
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
Just slaving away
Underneath the cruel old sun
