Do the Work Songtext
von Last in Line

Modern slaves are not in chains
Do you get wet
Or do you feel the rain?
You can count on loss
But you can′t count on change
So do no harm, and cause no pain

Now I ain't got time to play
No, not today
Satan pushed me in a corner
And changed the rules of the game

You work, slave, feel your way
′Til the sun goes down
'Til the end of your days

But if you wanna have a good life, do the work
Or see your name in the spotlight, do the work
If you want those good things
Good things in your life
Do the work, do the work, do the work


Now I got no regrets
And nothing up my sleeve
I keep those matters to myself
Or so you may believe
I've seen the struggle
And the pain it brings
Ruled by wolves, owned by pigs

Now I ain′t got time to fight
No, not tonight
But the devils in the details
And Lord knows that ain′t right

If you wanna have a good life, do the work
See your name in the spotlight, do the work
If you want those good things
Good things in your life
Do the work, do the work, do the work

Crawl 'til you can walk
And I′ll meet you on the way out
Walk 'til you can run
Take your fingers to the bone
You can play
But you pay and you pay! Do what

Hmm now, you pushed me in a corner
And changed the rules of the game
But I say, oh


If you wanna have a good life, do the work
See your name in the spotlight, do the work
If you want those good things
Good things in your life
Do the work, do the work, do the work

Do the work
Do the work
Do the work
Do the work
