I've been slavin' my mind just to try to find a way out
And it's been on my brain just to put the blame on you
I've gotta find a way just to make my day a useful one
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show
I've got one free pass just to let me know

Hey babe it's a stagnant time
But it takes more than that to hang my coat and hat and sleep
I've gotta sweat once more till my bones feel sore
I tell you why
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/gino+vannelli/the+work+verse_20499761.html ]
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show
I've gotta crash this prison and not let go
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress
'cause I want work
I'll keep slavin' my mind just to try to find some kind of light

I'm gonna burn this damn ticket and think of tomorrow
And I won't live this long life in stagnation no more
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress
Cause I'm a man
And man's gotta work
