Work
Five days out of seven, eight hours of every one
I'm tryna buy a piece of heaven, but I'll be gone
Before that heaven comes, work, work, work
Who needs it? It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killin' myself for a living, livin' the working man's blues
Minute to minute, day after day
Wherever I go, it's always the same
I work a little longer and make up my pay
When the cheque comes along
They've taken half of it away, all the work, work, work
Who needs it? All I ever, ever seem to do
You know I'm killing myself for a living
Should be staying at home with you, woo
You know
City to city, all over the world
Wherever I been to, that's all I ever heard
You work a little longer to double up on that pay
When the tax man comes along that day
They've taken half of it away, work, work, work
Who needs it? (Who needs it?) It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killing, killing, killing time for a living
Living the working man's blues
Yeah, it's all work, work, work, work, that's all it is
Killing myself for a living, like diving a nail straight into my hand
I've been working my life away (working my life away)
That's right, working my life away (working my life away)
All this work, work, work
Working my life away
Working my life away
You know sometimes I get home in the evening (working my life away)
And lay in bed at night just dreaming (working my life away)
I've had enough (working my life away)
A whole pay cheque sitting in my hand (working my life away)
So we can split up between the two of us (working my life away)
Buy that big mansion on the hill (working my life away)
Where that rich guy lives in (working my life away)
Who says he pays me every week (working my life away)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I don't want to work no more (working my life away)
I can't stand it (working my life away)
(Working my life away)
I'm tryna buy a piece of heaven, but I'll be gone
Before that heaven comes, work, work, work
Who needs it? It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killin' myself for a living, livin' the working man's blues
Minute to minute, day after day
Wherever I go, it's always the same
I work a little longer and make up my pay
When the cheque comes along
They've taken half of it away, all the work, work, work
Who needs it? All I ever, ever seem to do
You know I'm killing myself for a living
Should be staying at home with you, woo
You know
City to city, all over the world
Wherever I been to, that's all I ever heard
You work a little longer to double up on that pay
When the tax man comes along that day
They've taken half of it away, work, work, work
Who needs it? (Who needs it?) It's all I ever seem to do
I'm killing, killing, killing time for a living
Living the working man's blues
Yeah, it's all work, work, work, work, that's all it is
Killing myself for a living, like diving a nail straight into my hand
I've been working my life away (working my life away)
That's right, working my life away (working my life away)
All this work, work, work
Working my life away
Working my life away
You know sometimes I get home in the evening (working my life away)
And lay in bed at night just dreaming (working my life away)
I've had enough (working my life away)
A whole pay cheque sitting in my hand (working my life away)
So we can split up between the two of us (working my life away)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I don't want to work no more (working my life away)
I can't stand it (working my life away)
(Working my life away)
