Work

Work all day, that’s all I do, just the way they taught me to
Spend all day, use half my brain, my mind’s on you or I’d go insane, hmmm hmmm
It’s the same every day: overworked and underpaid
Beat my heart, against the wall, I pick it up and rise above it all

And I work—‘cause I’m lucky just to have a job
Work—‘cause I know it’s work or starve
Work—it’s the only thing I can do, yeah

Jerk ethic, no control, dream detour, lacking goals
I should be brave, and leave the race but I’m afraid I’ll lose my place

So I work—‘cause I’m lucky just to have a job
Work—‘cause I know it’s work or starve
Work—it’s the only thing I can do

When I get home at night
I want to show you that I love you, love you for keeps
You wanna prove you love me too
But not right now ‘cause I’m falling asleep! Ooh!

Work!
Work!
Work!
Let’s play

Stickin' tubes in TV’s, I’d rather cure some disease
Go back to school? Maybe I will But now I’m work-work-working just to play my bills

And I work—‘cause I’m lucky just to have a job
Work—‘cause I know it’s work or starve
Work—it’s the only thing I can do, I can do, yeah yeah yeah

Work!
Work!
Work!
Work!....
