They gather outside McDonalds Waiting for their phones to beep Hoping for that notification To claim their delivery fee

No one knows the outcome A black box will decide Which one’s blessed by the algorithm And is sent inside

[Chorus 1] Six shovels Six shovels against a wall Desperation Desperation fuels it all Six shovels, a hundred men

We need to be making more money How to make the profits rise? Make everyone self-employed And avoid those workers’ rights

Let’s have a modern day shovel race With rules no one understands Make them fight for a pittance On fear of being banned

[Chorus 1]

Taking risks between rush hour cars For fresh milk and those Mars bars E-bike fire claims innocent lives Cost of convenient burger and fries

[Chorus 2] Six shovels Six shovels against a wall Exploitation Exploitation behind it all Six shovels, a hundred men
