Lyrics

[INTRO]
My brother Sendy, he's a rebel at heart
Dreams of a different life, from the very start
He's got a passion, a fire that burns
But it's not for learning, it's not for the concerns

[VERSE 1]
He's supposed to be in Yeshiva, studying every day
But Sendy's got other plans, he's got a different way
He sees the garbage trucks, the men who drive
He thinks they get paid well, and he wants to drive

[CHORUS]
He wants to be a garbage man, it's his heart's desire
He thinks the pay is good, and the work's on fire
He'd rather be outside, with the wind in his hair
Than stuck in a classroom, with a gemarah to share

[VERSE 2]
His friends all tell him, "Sendy, you're making a mistake"
But he won't listen, he's got a different take
He sees the respect, the pride in their eyes
He wants to be a part of that, he wants to rise

[CHORUS]
He wants to be a garbage man, it's his heart's desire
He thinks the pay is good, and the work's on fire
He'd rather be outside, with the wind in his hair
Than stuck in a classroom, with a book to share

[BRIDGE]
Maybe he's not crazy, maybe he's just right
Maybe being a garbage man, is his shining light
He's got a passion for the outdoors, for the thrill of the ride
And who are we to judge, when he's got a dream inside?

[HOOK]
Garbage man, garbage man, that's his goal
He's gonna make it happen, he's in control
Garbage man, garbage man, he's on his way
He won't look back, no, not today

[OUTRO]
My brother Sendy, he's a man on a quest
He's gonna follow his dreams, and do his best
And even though it's not, the traditional way
He's gonna make it happen, come what may
