Life's Work

We work to get a good job
We work to afford a house to make a home
We come home from work to that home
And talk about work

We wrk to earn a living
But we spend most of our lives working
I sometimes wonder why I work at school
So hard when I'm only working to get more work

I work five days a week and have two days to live
And those two days of living
I wouldn't get without the work
I've lived my life doing

So why live to work when I work to live?
Why talk about working and only think about living?
We wait on our working asses
For our work to give us life
But we don't stop working long enough
To notice we already have one

Am I the only one who notices I don't need to work
To get a life?
My parents did that work for me
And now the life they worked to make
Has to work for it's life too
To get a house to make a home
And only live in it to work
And work to live in it
I'd go to that home and live not work
If only living wasn't so much like hard work!
