Lyrics
Johnny Mortgage
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Working, working, he's working so hard
Pushing, pushing, he's pushing his car
A wife, a house, and a dog and two kids
The IRS squeeze out the piss
Status, status, status apparatus
The government takes then they ask us
If the kids go hungry and start to cry
If the kids go hungry you tell 'em
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
All it will all it will all work out
Hungry, hungry, hungry and tired
Boss says to work or you'll get fired
Work, work, work your ethic
Take it home, it's mathematic
Working, working, working so hard
Pushing, pushing, pushing his car
Wife goes hungry, starts to cry
If the wife goes hungry you tell her
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
All it will all it will all work out
Everybody's got to be
Got to be a somebody
Everbody's got to be
Got to be a someone
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
All it will all it will all work out
