about
Don't ever start working 'cause they'll never let you stop.
lyrics
Old man says to young man,
“Never made it to the top,
and don’t ever start to working,
‘cause they’ll never let you stop.
Fill you up with expectations
‘til your cork’s about to pop
then turn you over like a bottle
and wait for the final drop.”
Young man says to old man,
“you have always been my friend,
since I was a kid in school I knew
all things must have an end,
and you know that I can’t stand
to see you in such misery,
I will someday see you rest
In comfort and tranquility.”
When we fall off this dimension
When the lights all start to fadin’
When we feel the cold come creepin’
Your eyes are closed but your’e not sleepin’
When we wear our best for nothin’
Sometimes burning in an oven
When the dust seems like a cousin
You can take a holiday
When your heart takes a break from beatin’
When you find you’re being eaten
When you don’t feel much like breathin’
And your landlord can’t make you pay
In the everlasting darkness
When you call yourself a carcass
When you’re lying on your back
And listening for the falling rain
Young man says to old man,
“I have heard the words you’ve said,
seems to me
that you believe
that you would be
better off dead
I have come to solve your problem,
See the gun that’s in my hand
You need only say the words,
And your wish will be my command.”
Old man says to young man,
I didn’t get this far for nothin’
‘cause you know I seen ya comin’
and I was ready for you
so I’ll lift my gun and cock it,
and when I’m goin’ through your pockets,
I’ll know they sent a boy
To do the work
This old man’s meant to do.”
