Hard Work Lyrics by Simon

Project Fiver

0

[Hook]
Hard work
My life on a CV will they want to see me
Hard work
People think we're lazy unemployment’s easy
It's hard work we want work

[Verse 1]
The boss sends the P45
Dream of scorching him alive
Life just took a nose dive
Losing my habitat not happy with that
So I’m signing on ring, ring, ring (aw, come on)
Why aren’t you helping
Are you even half-awake?
Are you just half-baked?
Giving me a headache
On purpose I take
Otherwise the circus awaits
It's like lose your payslip
Lose your rights and your citizenship
And they'll be giving you shit
Leaving me annoyed wwwoooph
It's hard work being unemployed

[Hook ]

[Verse 2]
Life is going slow
Days are going fast
Blink too long be left in the past
I’ve lost my motivation
I’ve applied up
And down the nation
They won’t let me flip burgers
At flipping burger king
Mother in her maiden name fake referee
Await to see if they remember me
Experience, experience
It’s a catch 22
Unemployment is driving me loony
Because I was promised 22
Grand after I finished Uni
Leaving me annoyed wwwoooph
It's hard work being unemployed

[Hook]
Hard work x2

[Bridge]
The lack of urgency
By a recruitment agency
Is ageing me
So I guess it’s down to me
As opportunity isn’t knocking at my door
I knock at its knock it to bits
Stay focused all day if failure comes this way
Knock it to bits knock it for six

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Whether it's GCSE or PHD
Finding work isn’t easy (Hard Work)
Whether your an upcomer or a trained Plumber
Finding work isn’t easy (Hard Work)
Feel the blues when your contract terminates
Take off your shoes put on your ice skates
Because it’s a cold, cold world
Shiver in fears shed a few tears
Because it’s a cold, cold world
The glass ceilings are true
That’s why my feelings are blue
Its a cold, cold world
Leaving me annoyed wwwoooph
It's hard work being unemployed
(Hard Work)
