Work Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer, Tom Snow & John Vastano 

five days out of seven 

eight hours of every one 

I'm tryin' to buy a piece of heaven 

but I'll be gone 

before that heaven comes 

work, work, work 

who nees it? 

it's all I ever seem to do 

I'm killin' myself for a livin' 

livin' the workin' man's blues 

minute to minute 

day after day 

wherever I go it's always the same 

I work a little longer 

to make up my pay 

but when the cheque comes along 

they've taken half of it away 

all the work, work, work 

who nees it? 

all I ever seem to do 

you know I'm killin' myself for a livin' 

I should be stayin' at home with you 

city to city 

all over the world 

wherever I been to -- that's all I ever heard 

you work a little longer 

to double up on that pay 

when the taxman comes along 

they take half of it away 

work, work, work 

who nees it? 

it's all I ever seem to do 

I'm killin', killin' time for a livin' 

livin' the workin' man's blues 

yeah, it's all work! work! work! work! 

that's all it is 

killin' myself for a livin' 

like drivin' a nail straight into my hand 

I've been workin' my life away
