[Intro]
Oh yeah
Alright

[Verse 1]
Something inside me said I should take my shot
But I'm beholden, I don't have free will
Guess that that's no surprise

[Interlude]
Oh yeah
Alright
Cut wood
And cry

[Verse 2]
Proventus tells me wood is my duty
Whiterun was crumbli-i-i-i-in' without my stacks
My lot is to rend trees and so

[Chorus]
I work for Belethor
At the General Goods Store
I work for Belethor
I'll work here forevermore
[Verse 3]
I'm just a grunt who hacks, severs and hews
That wood which turns to your fireplace fuel
When I say
This blade is the implement of which I do essential work for terrible pay
With this tool

[Chorus]
I work for Belethor
At the General Goods Store
I work for Belethor
I'll work here forevermore

[Bridge]
Dear music, I write you
Although I'm sworn to silence
I moved up, found success
Then I was cast back down here
I'm told that my fleeting
Existence has no meaning
Like draugr, dead draugr
I'm just an animated husk
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
I work for Belethor
At the General Goods Store
I work for Belethor
I'll work here forevermore
[Spoken word]
Belethor: Well, at least that one wasn't about how much you hate me
Sigurd: I don't hate you Belethor. It's just that I got a taste of fame and fortune, so returning to this job isn't exactly exciting
Belethor: Believe it or not, I know how you feel. I used to be a bard myself
Sigurd: I didn't know you used to be a bard...
Belethor: Yes, I used to sing a tune from time to time, but eventually I had to choose between that and running this store. And I'm glad to say I made the right choice. Belethor's General Goods is my life now, there's no place in all of Whiterun I'd rather be than in my shop
