[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna get my worker's comp check
I'm a-gonna buy you lots of food
I'm a-gonna drop some bricks on my head
I'm a-gonna be laid up for good

[Verse 1]
My neck, my back, my neck and my back hurt
I had another accident, so someone tell the management
I'll be in my kiddie pool recovering, I'll get my tools
Another time, if my spine, if it ever realigns

[Bridge]
My neck, my back, my neck and my back
And I never will recover and I never will recover
And I never will recover and I never will recover, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna get my worker's comp check
I'm a-gonna buy you lots of food
I'm a-gonna drop some bricks on my head
I'm a-gonna be laid up for good

[Verse 2]
Compassionate society has a whole variety
Of safety nets and benefits for anyone that's ever been
A victim of negligence, stress, fatigue or recklessness
Offer me a settlement. Just offer me a settlement
[Verse 3]
'Cause I gotta stay at home
My neck and back is nearly broke
I kind of won the lottery, I'll take what they are offering
Vicodin and Ambien and watch a lot of television

[Bridge]
My neck, my back. My neck and my back!
My neck, my back, my neck and my back
And I never will recover and I never will recover
And I never will recover and I never will recover, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna get my worker's comp check
I'm a-gonna buy you lots of food
I'm a-gonna drop some bricks on my head
I'm a-gonna be laid up for good

[Outro]
My neck, my back
My neck and my back
