You'd like to make a living
You're happy now just to be employed
Take all of your dreams son
Hide them with the problems you avoid
Money hides all petty crimes
Til you're on the killing floor
Then all you get's your overtime
Silly me, turns out that's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for, work for
Every job I ever had
Has someone who always sounds so bitter
For what it's worth
All that blustering can't keep 'em warm in winter
Help 'em where you can but boy
They always ask for more
Break room therapy is their health plan
Silly me, turns out that's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for, work for
Work for, work for
Gotta put the work in
Hope you enjoy yourself
You'll still be at it when you're older
But you can sleep at night
Knowing you helped to create value for shareholders
Still ask the good lord when you pray
To help you not be poor
Your church wants tithe either way
Silly me, turns out that's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for, work for
That's what we work for
Hey that's what what we work for
That's what we work for
Hey now that's what we work for
