[00:00.00]Andy was a catholic
[00:12.06]The ethic ran through his bones
[00:14.27]He lived alone with his mother
[00:16.85]Collecting gossip and toys
[00:19.00]Every sunday when he went to church
[00:21.51]He'd kneel in his pew and say
[00:23.85]It's work
[00:25.85]All that matters is work
[00:29.36]He was a lot of things
[00:31.03]What I remember most he'd say
[00:33.48]I've got to bring home the bacon
[00:35.15]Someone's got to bring home the roast
[00:38.04]He'd get to the factory early
[00:40.17]If you'd ask him he'd tell you straight out
[00:42.35]It's work
[00:47.53]No matter what I did it never seemed enough
[00:49.66]He said I was lazy, I said I was young
[00:52.50]He said, how many songs did you write
[00:54.88]I'd written zero, I'd lied and said, ten
[00:57.29]You won't be young forever
[00:59.27]You should have written fifteen
[01:01.86]It's work
[01:06.96]You ought to make things big
[01:09.24]People like it that way
[01:11.48]And the songs with the dirty words
[01:13.70]Make sure your record them that way
[01:16.10]Andy liked to stir up trouble
[01:18.37]He was funny that way
[01:20.80]He said, it's just work
[01:25.74]Andy sat down to talk one day
[01:28.00]He said decide what you want
[01:30.45]Do you want to expand your parameters
[01:32.55]Or play museums like some dilettante
[01:35.26]I fired him on the spot
[01:37.05]He got red and called me a rat
[01:39.79]It was the worst word that he could think of
[01:42.08]And I've never seen him like that
[01:44.81]It's work
[01:46.79]I thought he said it's just work
[02:03.29]Andy said a lot of things
[02:05.31]I stored them all away in my head
[02:06.99]Sometimes when I can't decide what I should do
[02:09.78]I think what would andy have said
[02:11.97]He'd probably say you think too much
[02:14.15]That's cause there's work that you don't want to do
[02:17.05]It's work
[02:18.68]The most important thing is work
[02:21.51]It's work
[02:23.00]The most important thing is work
