Work

Some work to earn

Others work to learn

Some work to kill time

Other work so as not to burn

From jealousy, from class-ostentation

Sprinkled up around

This material led nation.

Me I work for work

And I don’t know why

I just try

So hard

And ignore all those that matter

So much to me.

Arbeit mach frei

For you and me

I try hard to be

but I cannot be

Totally

Hard at work

Away from family

And lovers I shirk.
