Lyrics Gino Vannelli

Gino Vannelli

The Work Verse

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

'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
