Work |
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 |
Hed kneel in his pew and say |
Its work |
All that matters is work |
He was a lot of things |
What I remember most hed say |
Ive got to bring home the bacon |
Someones got to bring home the roast |
Hed get to the factory early |
If youd ask him hed tell you straight out |
Its 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 |
Id written zero, Id lied and said, ten |
You wont be young forever |
You should have written fifteen |
Its 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, its 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 Ive never seen him like that |
Its work |
I thought he said its just work |
Andy said a lot of things |
I stored them all away in my head |
Sometimes when I cant decide what I should do I think what would andy have said |
Hed probably say you think too much |
Thats cause theres work that you dont want to do Its work |
The most important thing is work |
Its work |
The most important thing is work |
