Work, work, work, it's a lot of jive
Never gonna work 9 to 5
Tell Mr. Boss Man I said goodbye
Never gonna work another day in my life

I hate work, yeah I do
I hate work, and you should too
I hate work
Ain't no punk in work, I ain't no jerk

Never gonna work in a factory
Or sweat my life in misery
Work like that never meant to be
Work like that is not for me

I hate work, yeah it's true
I hate work, and you should too
I hate work, I ain't no clerk
I hate work, I ain't no jerk

Work, work, work away the years of your life
Work, work, work, you never see your wife
Work, work, work, it stole your years
Work, work, work, sweat and tears

I hate work, yeah I do
I hate work, and you should too
I hate work, yeah yeah
I hate work, I ain't no jerk
I hate work, yeah I do
I hate work, and you should too
I hate work
Ain't no punk in work, I ain't no jerk

We're not gonna work in your crummy jobs
We're not gonna die in your stinkin' wars
We're not gonna vote in your phony elections
Take a good look, we're your reflection

I hate work, yeah I do
I hate work, and you should too
I hate work, yeah yeah
I hate work, I ain't no jerk
