Work, Ha
Now
Work, Ha
Now

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show
We'll watch TV and analyze the weather
Before we go to work, we must plan the day ahead
We'll wile away the working day together
(Wile away the working day together)
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same
(Work all day)
If you want to play

Some are nurses, some steal purses
Some are workers, some are not
Yes it's (time for a party)
Liberation for the nation now (now)

Work, ha
Now
Work, ha
Now

Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels (whoo, whoo)
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Work, now
