The Work

I've been working all my life
All my life - what's a few years more
Heard about a job in Maine
Part-time work, honest pay

Oh the work's never done, never done, never done
No the work's never done, never done, never done
Oh the work's never done, never done, never done
Work's never done

Pay the bills by the skin of my teeth
Pray to God paycheck lasts the week
My little girl's got big dreams
Shoot them down; kid's gotta eat

Well, the work's never done, never done, never done
No the work's never done, never done, never done
Oh the work's never done, never done, never done

Hitch the trailer to the truck
As our Golden Years begin to rust
Lord show mercy on us
Let time run out before the money does
Before the money does

Up in the tower there's a business man
He and the devil got a business plan
My little world in the palm of their hands
They take my money, they roll the dice
All the while I'm here rolling dimes

Devil's work's never done, never done, never done
No the work's never done, never done, never done
Oh the work's never done, never done, never done
