The Duel

Work work work!
He shrieks at me.
No no no!
Someone revolts.

I am free, let me fly away
to the beautiful moments that have been.
I am free, let me float away
away to the places never yet seen.

But you must work!
If not, you'll be a waste.
They will find out
so get up, make haste.

Work work work!
He shrieks at me.
No no no!
Someone revolts.

This is not the work for me
need something else.
I have to find out what to do
give me peace, let me rest.

You are lost and have wandered away.
Do not be foolish, do not sway.
This work is what you do the best.
Do it right now and then you can rest.

Work work work!
He shrieks at me.
No no no!
Someone revolts.

There are beautiful places to go
beautiful places to be.
Why make me sit here
when I can be free?

You don't understand you silly girl,
beautiful places will always be.
You can visit them whenever you like,
but here, in this moment, you'll never again be.

Work work work!
He shrieks at me.
No no no!
Someone revolts.

You are my enemy
You want to tie me down.

I am just showing you
the right way around.

The battle goes on,
no one will ever win.
I have to bring in
something else from within.

Stop you two!
Quiet, not a word.
Some time to work
for the rest be a bird!
