lyrics

Proud to say I was the father's favorite
Right in line to inherit the farm
But the money hid the subtle hints
That should have tripped my alarm

Left the life of the suit behind
Burned up my tie and shirt
Planned to run a smooth operation
But I was given a field of dirt

I gave up a salary
To chase a fading ghost
I gave up a salary
For a made up post

Looked around for a sign of growth
Saw the crops covered in pests
Lazy mules and sickly sheep
Was this a poorly concocted test?

Father what have I been given?
This is no place to build my framework
Son I made my money a while back
I thought you saw the value in work

I gave up a salary
To chase a fading ghost
I gave up a salary
For a made up post

Sorry to say
I don't work for nothing

I can't return to the city
I burned bridges as well as my clothes
I wanted that smooth path
But the cracked one is what I chose

So I stand on the barren land
What real option is there than that?
Tending rotting crops and dying pigs
Is better than living in a nest of rats

I gave up a salary
To chase a fading ghost
I gave up a salary
For a made up post

Sorry to say
I don't work for nothing
