Total Job
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.
(I drive a taxi, i paint fingernails,
I am an artist, i sew dresses,
I am a teacher)
Sharp dressed servers where the upscale dine
A safe dial turned by a glove in the crimes of night
A nurse in an ambulance rides
He "don't deserve it", the patient is right
Career
Serious
There are times when i miss the appeal
Long black cars driven close to the lawn
Straight legged slacks and the shine of the chauffer's garb
The lawyer with an eliquent tongue
He sways the verdict, the jury is numb
Energy that pulls us toward it
To feel the total job
No economic success
Career
Serious
There are times when i miss the appeal
To get the total job
Energy that pulls us toward it
To feel the total job
No economic success
Energy that pulls us toward it
To feel the total job
No economic success
