Lyrics The Executioner's Song - Cass McCombs

The Executioner's Song

I love the job almost as much as I do you
It’s a good job
I may not get paid as much
But I more than make up
With an enormous sense of self-worth
My job, my job
My job, my job
Some people just work to pay the bills
And put bread on the table
I couldn’t do that
I need feeling and purpose
My job, my job
My job, my job
Although I admit sometimes it’s not very fun
In fact, it can be pretty stressful
At the end of the day
I know I begun and completed the work
Only by my own willpower
There is work that is play
There is play that is work
And play that is play
And work that is work
And in only one of these lies happiness
I’m a pretty luck guy
I love you and I love my job, my job
My job, my job
