Grace Petrie - Workshy lyrics

Woah woah

Well it's not my my idea of a good time
Working till you break your spine
Letting life just pass you by
But at least you won’t be workshy
And I'm not sure
When they landed on the shores
Of Dunkirk in the war
That what they were fighting for
Was a better credit score

And yeah, I want a car like that
But, I don't want to hate what I do to get it
And yeah, I want a house like that
But to work so much that I’m never in it
Don't make that much sense to me
Well if life's a race then I'll never win it
But at least I'm someone I wanna be
Most of the time, I'm someone I wanna be

So you can sell them the myth
That all that matters in life is money
You can tell them their dreams
Are measured only in pounds
And that's swell for some folk
But, it's not working on me honey
No, not I i defy to use the
Time before I die to be workshy

Woah woah

And we’ve been told
Since we were four years old
That employment is the goal
Fill your wallet, not your soul
Use your life to gather gold
And it’s not fine to spend your earthly time
Between bank loan and breadline
For the ones who draw the lines
To criticise and call you workshy

And yeah, I want a car like that
But, I don't want to hate what I do to get it
And yeah, I want a house like that
But to work so much I’m never in it
Don't make that much sense to me
Well if life's a race then I'll never win it
But at least I’m someone I wanna be
Most of the time, I'm someone I wanna be

So you can sell them the myth
That all that matters in life is money
And you can tell them their dreams
Are measured only in pounds
And that's swell for some folk
But, it's not working on me honey
No, not I i defy to use the
Time before I die to be workshy

Woah woah

And yeah, I want a car like that
But, I don't want to hate what I do to get it
And yeah, I want a house like that
But to work so much that I'm never in it
Don't make that much sense to me
If life's a race then I'll never win it
But at least I'm someone I wanna be
Most of the time, I'm someone I wanna be

So you can sell them the myth
That all that matters in life is money
And you can tell them their dreams
Are measured only in pounds
And that's swell for some folk
But, it's not working on me honey
No, not I i defy to use the time before I die
No, not I i defy to live
My life in the sunshine
And I will try to use my
Time for the good of humankind
And I will strive until I die to
Use my time to be workshy
