Work Song Lyrics by Often Easy

2023

Well I was 17 when I set out to leave
My ma and pa didn’t have time to grieve
The silent empty nest of their Lutheran home
I was 17 years old when i set out on my own

I got me a job at a cannery
With 16 hours on and 8 hours free
The money was hardly enough to breathe
And my daddy’s words kept coming back to me

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you go into work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you go into work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you go into work

Well I found me a lady, I thought she was a dream
Until a-fighting and a-fussing was reality
I kept blaming her, and she kept blaming me
Til we taught ourselves how best to disagree

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you put in the work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you put in the work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you put in the work

I know my alienation is for me and me alone
Born in the hands of a protestant nation and taught to always clean my bones
I know my alienation is for me and for me alone
Am I too late for the demonstration or is there still work to go?

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you go into work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you go into work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you go into work

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you go into work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you go into work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you go into work

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you go into work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you go into work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you go into work

It’s gonna hurt hurt when you go into work
It’s supposed to hurt hurt when you go into work
Between the blood and the dirt and your sense of self worth
It’s gotta hurt hurt when you go into work
