"Work"


	Andy was a Catholic
	the ethic ran through his bones
	He lived alone with his mother
	collecting gossip and toys

	Every Sunday when he went to Church
	He'd kneel in his pew and say
	"It's work, all that matters is work."

	He was a lot of things
	what I remember most he'd say
	"I've got to bring home the bacon
	someone's got to bring home the roast."

	He'd get to the factory early
	If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
	It's work

	No matter what I did it never seemed enough
	he said I was lazy, I said I was young
	He said, "How many songs did you write ?"
	I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, "Ten."

	"You won't be young forever
	You should have written fifteen"
	It's work

	"You ought to make things big
	people like it that way
	And the songs with the dirty words
	make sure your record them that way"

	Andy liked to stir up trouble
	he was funny that way
	He said, "It's just work

	Andy sat down to talk one day
	he said decide what you want
	Do you want to expand your parameters
	or play museums like some dilettante

	I fired him on the spot
	he got red and called me a rat
	It was the worst word that he could think of
	And I've never seen him like that
	It's work, I thought he said it's just work

	Andy said a lot of things
	I stored them all away in my head
	Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
	I think what would Andy have said

	He'd probably say you think too much
	That's 'cause there's work that you don't want to do
	It's work, the most important thing is work
	It's work, the most important thing is work
