Jack of All Trades Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll mow your lawn, clean the leaves out your drain
I'll mend your roof to keep out the rain
I'll take the work that God provides
I'm a Jack of all trades, honey, we'll be alright

[Verse 2]
I'll hammer the nails and I'll set the stone
I'll harvest your crops when they're ripe and grown
I'll pull that engine apart and patch her up 'til she's running right
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright

[Verse 3]
The hurricane blows, brings a hard rain
When the blue sky breaks, it feels like the world's gonna change
We'll start caring for each other like Jesus said that we might
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright

[Verse 4]
The banker man grows fat, the working man grows thin
It's all happened before and it'll happen again

It'll happen again, yeah, they'll bet your life
I'm a Jack of all trades, darling, we'll be alright

[Verse 5]
Now sometimes tomorrow comes soaked in treasure and blood
Here we stood the drought, now we'll stand the flood
There's a new world coming, I can see the light
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright
[Verse 6]
So you use what you've got and you learn to make do
You take the old, you make it new
If I had me a gun, I'd find the bastards and shoot 'em on sight
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

One of the highlights of the Boss' 2012 album Wrecking Ball, this ballad is a shot across the bow at those responsible for the economic crisis, yet still remains hopeful and loving – thus keeping it in the best tradition of Springsteen’s Woody Guthrie-inspired tales

This song features a guitar solo from Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello
