Lap Of Luxury

Oingo Boingo


I work all day and I work all night 4x 
I work all day and I work all night 
I work so my wife and kids will have a pleasant life 
I work as many jobs as I can 
I'm proud to work I guess I'm just a working man 
-who am I to complain 
I live in the lap of luxury 
I got a car and a big tv that's so fine 
I go to the pictures when I can 
-the pictures take me to far-away lands 
-almost makes me forget who I am 
sometimes at work I've a fantasy 
that I'm a man who livesa life of mystery 
(but) then the whistle brings me to 
I can't forget why I'm here, I've got a job to do 
-Responsibility- is much more important to a man like me 
I work all day and I work all night 
I work all day and I work all night - etc. etc.

I got a job at the factory 
but I don't mind cause I know that the job is right for me 
I don't complain I'm satisfied 
and I don't care to rub elbows with the wealthy 
they've got their problems too, I don't envy them a bit don't ya know 
I'm doin' what I want and it ain't so bas 
I've got everything that a man could have 
(I'm) living in the lap of luxury - living in the lap of luxury 
work all day and I work all night 
I work all day and I work all night etc. etc.
