My hands are tainted
Like black painted
Not by hurting a child
Nor by ignoring a plea ever so mild
Not by bribing
Nor by jibing
Not by judging
Nor by fudging
Not by stealing
Nor by killing
By mining coal
By greasing engines to rev and roll
By filling petrol
By painting a scroll
By polishing a boot and sole
By rescuing a foal
By cooking a roll
By tending to a kiln pole
My hands are tainted
Like black painted
Greasy is hard work
Messy but I am no jerk.
