Work - Kesia & Wøvex

Work work work Work work work I look for a job both day and night I can't find nothin' that will suit me right A little bit of nerve I'm not tryin' to shake But everything I've found seems too much like work (Work work work) What you're talkin' 'bout? (Work work work) Are you talkin' to me? (Work work work) Mmm, mmm (Work work work) Hey, hey, hey Does anybody here know somebody Who needs somebody who wants somebody to (Love love love) Now, you're talkin' now (Love love love) I need a little spendin' change every now and then I ain't seen a quarter since who knows when I ask my friends if they could spare a little cash But all they ever do is stand around and talk trash about (Work work work) What you're talkin' 'bout? (Work work work) Are you talkin' to me? (Work work work) Mmm, mmm (Work work work) Hey, hey, hey Does anybody here know somebody Who needs somebody who wants somebody to (Love love love) Now, you're talkin' now (Love love love) Work work work Work work work Work work work ...

If we give up before we ever fought If we only do what we are told And think we know it all, but never really learnt If we turn the page before the page has turned If we close doors, we never opened up If we don't really start a thing before we stop And never speak the truth although we do not lie If we're full of plans but never dare to try... Ghosts we are, made of flesh and bone With empty minds and hearts of stone The seed that was not meant to thrive Existing but not really alive Ghosts we are, though there's blood in our veins Born free we chose to live in chains Thought we were on our way, but in fact we weren't So we burned out, before we ever burned... If we take no risk, afraid that we might loose And neverever make a choice, but let the others choose If we don't love, afraid we won't be loved If we long for touch but keep our fingers gloved If we've got it good but even though feel bad And should be happy but always feel sad If we crash down before we tried to fly Then we are dead so long before we die Ghosts we are, made of flesh and bone With empty minds and hearts of stone The seed that was not meant to thrive Existing but not really alive Ghosts we are, though there' blood in our veins Born free we chose to live in chains Thought we were on our way, but in fact we weren't So we burned out before we ever burned...

They reach out to the world They carry our fortune Written firmly into their palm They may tremble and shiver When we need it the least But as well they may be all safe and calm They give and take They tease and taunt They salute or wave goodbye They caress a lover Pull the trigger of a gun Sign a treaty that seals the peace They build cars and houses And at times they save a life Or go spreading the disease They give and take They tease and taunt They salute or wave goodbye They push and shove They clutch and cling Or hold somebody tight It's all in those hands They can do so much good Can be so destructive Hands shape the world Hands break it down They may clench into fists Or as well be opened wide Invite you or push you back They may pin the words down Of the book that will change your life Or close around a victim's neck They give and take They tease and taunt They salute or wave goodbye They push and shove They clutch and cling Or hold somebody tight It's all in those hands They can do so much good Can be so destructive Hands shape the world Hands break it down Hands build it up again
