I Got All the Fucking Work I Need

Written by Robert Boddington

An expansion of an iconic chant of the Work Song by Dan Reeder.

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

I got all the fucking work I need

I got all the fucking work I need

I got all the fucking work I need

I got all the fucking work I need


They say you gotta hustle, say you gotta grind

Say you've gotta monetise your peace of mind

But your peace of mind should be devoid of greed

That's why I got all the fucking work I need


CHORUS


The podcaster preaches, the rich man ries

That I've got to work to the bone until I die

To make me rich I gotta work to the floor

But if I'm living to work then what's the money for?


CHORUS


The billionaire says it's all down to sill

He got to where he is with power of will

But the will that got him his piles of gold

Is the will of his parents when they got too old


CHORUS


I don't need a billion, I don't need a crown

I don't need to be the biggest tiny dick in town

I don't need to buy Venice to show off my greed

Cause I got all the fucking work I need


CHORUS


Research says that the work that we do today

70% of it can be thrown away

We're told we have to work to earn the right to be free

But we've got all the fucking work we need


CHORUS x 2
