lirik lagu working reward – the haymarket squares
[verse 1]
it was already meager, this working reward
for selling off the best years of your life
and the thirty bits of silver that you hoped to call your own
turned into shoes for some rich banker’s wife
it’s a high*wire act
with the safety net in tatters and a target on your back
a target on your back
[chorus]
you’re worth more than they’ll ever pay you
don’t let your desire to please other people betray you
you may work for a day or a decade
wake up feeling groggy and wondering if it was a fair tradе
[verse 2]
we’re polishing our nest еggs, we’re checking our accounts
we’re saving something for a rainy day
but fabric and the texture and the color of our lives
are things that we’re so quick to trade away
if the price is right
then how come it’s no comfort when i lie awake at night?
lie awake at night
[chorus]
you’re worth more than they’ll ever pay you
don’t let your desire to please other people betray you
you may work for a day or a decade
wake up feeling groggy and wondering if it was a fair trade
[verse 3]
it was already meager, this working reward
for selling off the best years of your life
the best years of your life
oh the best years of your life
the best years of your life
(the best years of his life)
[verse 4]
there’s a city in my mind, come along and take that ride
and it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
but it’s very far away, but it’s closer every day
and it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
they can tell you what to do, and they’ll make a fool of you
and it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
but the world is ending fast, pretty soon we’ll breathe our last
and it’s all right, baby, it’s all right
[chorus]
you’re worth more than they’ll ever pay you
don’t let your desire to please other people betray you
you may work for a day or a decade
wake up feeling groggy and wondering if it was a fair trade
[outro]
it was already meager, this working reward
