Put In The Work Lyrics

Write a song

Make a record

Play a show

Sell a t-shirt

It's your first year standing on the stage

And you're thinking, "when will I get paid?"

Well there must be something wrong with the business

They ain't praising me like Jesus

And you think, "Maybe it'll come together, maybe it'll all work out"

You even point to the sky and scream, "C'mon help a brother out"

When the truth is that's all a lie

If you're just wishing you ain't pitching strikes

Put in the work

Put in the time

Put in the work

Put in the time

Politics look better from the fence

If you want the easy life just avoid the argument

And take a picture of that sticker then post it to your page

Then sleep like a baby while the world goes up in flames

Thinking, "Maybe it'll come together, maybe it'll all work out"

You even point to the sky and scream, "C'mon help a sister out"

When the truth is that's all a lie

If you're just wishing you ain't pitching strikes

Put in the work

Put in the time

Put in the work

Put in the time

Well, I've got a girl at home who's been asleep for several hours

The sun's coming up in two and I'm doing drugs with a bunch of strangers

I'm thinking, "she wants to change me, she wants to take away my freedom"

But maybe she just loves me and wants me to stop dying

Then I think, "Maybe it'll come together, maybe it'll all work out"

I even point to the sky and scream, "C'mon help a brother out"

When the truth is that's all a lie

If I'm just wishing I ain't pitching strikes

Put in the work

Put in the time

Put in the work

Put in the time
