Do the Work

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
