Why Work?
Before you push me out the door
Why should I go away to work
When you have all I need and more
For if I could be with you
Every second of the day
I’d forget about this world
And throw my life away
Just so I could look
Forever in your eyes
And away my heart be took
To a cloud up in the skies
Where I would sit and stare
At God’s beautiful works of art
And find they don’t compare
To the beauty in your heart
Which is the shining star
Over all of everything
And is known near and far
As the desire of every king
For they have started wars
And killed a million men
So you’ll share that love of yours
With the greatest one of them
So you see I must be right
You must be every thing I need
For a girl worthy of a fight
Should prove truly great in deed
So what reason have I then
To ever leave your side
And work as other men
Who soon will all have died
I see nothing you can say
To make me leave you here
And go to work today
Where I can’t hold you near
So tell me this one thing
Before you push me out the door
Why should I go away to work
When you have all I need and more
