Текст песни: Working + перевод

Working every single week in this city

But daydreaming about better days and blackbirds

Time goes slowly somehow even backwards

This clock just goes so slowly

I think it’s busted I don’t trust it

I’ve been dying since I got here

What do I do all day?

Sometimes it is not clear

But work’s not bad and work’s not hard

I don’t kill chickens or break rocks in a yard

Work’s not bad and it’s not that tough

And I’m not breaking my neck, or my back, or my balls in the rough

Middle of the workday

I take a look in the mirror

Sweet Jesus, I think I see a gray hair

And can anybody please explain

Why when the work’s all done

You’ve still got to stay there?

Just staring out the window

At all kinds of people

Having fun in the sun on the sidewalk

Who are they? Why aren’t they working?

I’m here every single day, all day

Just working and working and working

‘Cause this particular week

Work’s a bit of a wankfest

Saying you’re welcome a lot

And coming up thankless

I just went out on a Tuesday

I’m starting to wish that I drank less

But work’s not bad and work’s not hard

I don’t kill chickens or break rocks in a yard

Work’s not bad and it’s not that tough

And I’m not breaking my neck, or my back, or my balls in the rough

Please don’t let me tell you this is some kind of a tragedy

But I swear to God

This clock is trying to trick me

‘Cause how can a workday be so long and severe

When the rest of the day blows by so quickly?

Working every single week in this city

But daydreaming about better days and blackbirds

Time goes slowly somehow even backwards

But work’s not bad and work’s not hard

I don’t kill chickens or break rocks in a yard

Work’s not bad and it pays alright

And I can still go out drinking on Tuesday night

Still make it to work in the morning with that feeling in my head

And my throat all scratchy and my face a little bit red

But I know that the day does end and I will feel fine

And I’m not sleeping alone or waiting in a welfare line
