Sometimes it’s easy
sometimes it’s hard
rarely it pleases me
and mostly it’s a pain in the ⎯
sometimes it passes
sometimes it drags
time’s everlasting here
you fill your breaks with coffee and ⎯
Work is work
you gotta kill yourself to make a dime
Work is work
you gotta work until the end of time
Work is work
you gotta lose your heart to make a coin
Work is profit
but your profit really isn’t mine
Rarely it’s pleasure
mostly it’s pain
never is leisure time
wake up and do it over again
often it’s needless
and unnecessary
but to carry on living
and keep those nasty usurers away
Work is work
you gotta work to make somebody rich
Work is work
you gotta scratch the economy’s itch
Work is work
you gotta kill yourself to make a dime
Work is work
you gotta work to do the weekend line
