The Work Song
Life's Rhythm: Embracing Struggles and Triumphs in Billy Squier's Work Song
Lyrics
You're born into life--learn to discover
You enter life and must explore and understand it.
They take you for life--no time to recover
Life demands your commitment without much time for recovery.
Work, baby work
An emphasis on the importance of hard work.
Roll with the mob--dance to the rhythm
Adapt to the crowd and move to the beat of life.
Give all you got and take what you're given
Give your all and accept what comes your way.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of labor.
Hold back the pain--fight for the fever
Endure pain, fight for passion, and work to support loved ones.
Work for your girl--work hard to relieve her
Strive for your romantic partner, work hard to make their life easier.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of hard work.
Everyday you fight with your job
Every day involves struggles with your occupation.
Fight with your lover hold back the mob
Simultaneous challenges with work, love, and potential danger.
Run for your cover
Seek refuge or protection from difficulties.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of hard work.
Break out tonite--reach out, now don't let go
Break free tonight, don't let go, and put aside conflicts.
Put all your guns away
Advocacy for peace and resolution, stow away aggression.
Turn out the light--reach out, now let me know
Turn off negativity, seek connection, and make things right.
It all works out-oh yea
Optimism that everything will eventually work out.
Life, she's a bitch--grab on to it
Life can be challenging, but face it head-on.
It ain't whatcha do, it's all how ya do it
Emphasis on how you approach life matters more than what you do.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of hard work.
Pray to your god--never say 'never'
Invoke spirituality and remain positive, never give up.
Run for your life if it takes you forever
Escape if necessary, even if it takes a long time.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of hard work.
Don't hurry now--kick back, now take it slow
Take it easy, relax, and enjoy life at a comfortable pace.
Put all your guns away
Advocacy for peace and resolution, stow away aggression.
Break out tonite--tomorrow surely knows
Break free tonight; the future will unfold positively.
It all works out--oh yea
Optimism that everything will eventually work out.
Work, baby work
Reiteration of the importance of hard work.
