Lyrics for Work by Lou Reed:
| | | Artist: | Lou Reed |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Work | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 77 | | | | Lyrics: | Andy was a Catholic
the ethic ran through his bones
He lived alone with his
mother
collecting gossip and toys
Every Sunday when he went to Church
he'd kneel in
his pew and say
It's work
all that matters is work
He was a lot of things
what
I remember most he'd say
I've got to bring home the bacon
someone's got to bring home the
roast
He'd get to the factory early
if you'd ask him he'd tell you straight
out
It's work
No matter what I did it never seemed enough
he said I was lazy, I
said I was young
He said, How many songs did you write
I'd written zero, I'd lied and said,
Ten
You won't be young forever
you should have written fifteen
It's
work
You ought to make things big
people like it that way
And the songs with the
dirty words
make sure your record them that way
Andy liked to stir up trouble
he
was funny that way
He said, It's just work
Andy sat down to talk one day
he said
decide what you want
Do you want to expand your parameters
or play museums like some
dilettante
I fired him on the spot
he got red and called me a rat
It was the worst
word that he could think of
and I've never seen him like that
It's work
I thought he
said it's just work
Andy said a lot of things
I stored them all away in my
head
Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
I think what would Andy have
said
He'd probably say you think too much
that's 'cause there's work that you don't
want to do
It's work
the most important thing is work
It's work
the most important
thing is work | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
