Life is Work! That's what they say. I scribbled all over the back Of the proof of my pay. I was singin' it's work. And that's work til you die. Go on, make that dollar for somebody else Maybe they'll hand you a dime. Oh, it's an endless degradation. It's a hundred thousand little lacerations The payoff of which couldn't fit On any check that anyone could conceivably cut Oh, and you bleed, and you bleed and you bleed And the earth just laps it up. Oh Work! You're why I still smoke! And I gotta drink beer at the end of the day, Cos I gotta cope Oh, with all of the Work! That I suffer through What they say is the Truth, And that I should be thankful to do Oh but they will mock us and they will mistreat us Til they can replace us all with an app or a kiosk And apathy is the natural byproduct Of being exhausted and sick all the time So don't tell me that working like this Is the meaning of life. So yeah, I Work! But I try not to be defined By what gets me paid For an hour of my time Cos it's just a means to an ending And all of the energy that I end up expending I will get it back in spades When the systems that necessitate All of this Work! Fall apart And we can work for ourselves for a change! So we gotta Work! Cos none of our visions Of a better tomorrow Will come to fruition Without a whole lot of Work! And that's all there is to it So, God Dammit, I guess that we gotta do it! Oh but that looks like So many things That these economics They could never conceive Of all of our value Or measure our worth No, I will not let them tell me What it means to do Work!
