Don't take it so personal when they forget about you
Because you're just a drop in the bucket, more meat for the stew
To be chewed up and swallowed and spat back out
Just 'cause it's cruel, it doesn't mean that it's not true
So take my advice, my friend
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall
And don't you worry because time will pass quickly
Yeah, soon you'll be 50
Soon you'll be dead
So smoke if you want to and drink up your fill
Your good looks are fading fast, so fuck you, you will
So take my advice, my friend
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall
So take my advice, my friend
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall
Because you're just a drop in the bucket, more meat for the stew
To be chewed up and swallowed and spat back out
Just 'cause it's cruel, it doesn't mean that it's not true
So take my advice, my friend
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall
Yeah, soon you'll be 50
Soon you'll be dead
So smoke if you want to and drink up your fill
Your good looks are fading fast, so fuck you, you will
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall
Listen to me
Don't work for nothing
No, don't work for free
God's up in heaven, I'm not bitter at all
And down on the ground it ain't too far to fall

Corrections:
It is "God's up in heaven, or not there at all" and "Your good looks are fading fast, so fuck who you will"
