The Work Verse

(アルバム： Powerful People - 1974)

I've been slaving my mind just to try to find a way out
And it's been on my brain just to put the blame on you
I've gotta find a way just to make my day a useful one
'Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothing show
I've got one free pass just to let me know

Hey babe it's a stagnant time
But it takes more than that to hang my coat and hat and sleep
I've gotta sweat once more till my bones feel sore
I tell you why

'Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothing show
I've gotta crash this prison and not let go
My heart's on a sun cloud screaming for progress
'Cause I want work
I'll keep slaving my mind just to try to find some kind of light

I'm gonna burn this damn ticket and think of tomorrow
And I won't live this long life in stagnation no more
My heart's on a sun cloud screaming for progress
'Cause I'm a man
And man's gotta work
