Work

This is a new old song. New for you, old for me. It's in...hmmm... 7/8, that's a bit weird, and probably something I'll do only once. It was thought as a sort of sequel to "Army of Silent Kids" and a prequel to "Revenge". Needless to say, I was not a happy camper whilst writing this song - probably dreaming of the job I actually have now, thinking it would never happen. So, basically, I'm living the dream now.

All jobs mentioned are things I wanted to be when I grew up, at one time or another.


It goes a little smthg like this:




Work 

Dreams, where did you go?
Work, what did I know?
All I wanted was to live OK
Dreams, where did you go?
Work, who could have known?
Should have kept the dream of
Becoming a

Carpenter, dancer,
A professor of astronomy,
Writer, Egyptologist
Carpenter, dancer
A professor of astronomy,
Writer, archaeologist

Home, where did you go?
Peace, how could I know?
All I wanted was to live OK
How fast can I run far?
There’s no more fun
Time erased the dream of
Becoming a

A professor of astronomy,

Teachers please read my lips
‘Cause you thought me NOTHING!
Always an empty stare
Always overlooking
Torture for little kids
A playground
A minefield
Gave your silent support
To some vulgar Darwinism

Dreams, where did you go?
Work, what did I know?
All I wanted was to live OK
Dreams, where did you go?
Work, who could have known?
Should have kept the dream of

Becoming someone
