Lyrics

Work


Already made the sacrifice
Already paid the price
Don?t want to live in paradise
Just want a life that?s nice
Dad said son to make it good
You?ve got to go far in school
Took quite a lot but made it through
Now just want what I?m due

I just got my B.A.
I?m out here looking for a job
And yet with my B.A.
So far I?m still without

Work

Wake each day at six O?clock
Six O?clock on the dot
Get paper check the want aids
Dress in a coat and tie
Then I step out 9:10
With my briefcase in my hand
But at my appointment
My hope comes to an end

Still no work

Got to be my lucky day
Job offer came my way
Hard labor for minimum wage
Working the graveyard shift
Is this that bright future
My father used to tell us off
Doing a job too hard for five
Because to stay alive

Have to work
