Intro
Verse 1
Well I'm thinking back
On the damage you've done
And I knew I couldn't reason with you
So I had to run
And I ran so far
Fought hard
To start my life again
And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden
Cos you planted your shit seeds
But they didn't stay rotten
No they blossomed into flowers
In my brain
Now I'm paying you for
Chorus
A job well done
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
A job well done
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
When it comes to being paid
For a job well done.
Verse 2
Now I'm not allowed to tell it
So Ill write it in a song
And I know that when you hear it
You'll say that I'm wrong
Cos a man like you
Is blind to the truth
Your life's a fucking lie
And all those stories you been telling yourself
When you look at my albums lining up on your shelf
All the various reasons I owe you, I know you,
Now let me show you
Chorus
A job well done
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
A job well done
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
When it comes to being paid
For a job well done.
Bridge
Maybe someday
You'll realize your mistakes
And maybe make yourself accountable for one
And they say success has many parents
But failure is an orphan
Verse 3
Well I'm working real hard
Trying to make it make sense
And I'm looking at my life
And I'm making amends
For every word I never said
Every thought in my head
I was so misled
And nothing you say could ever right these wrongs
And I tell myself its worth it
Cos I got this song
But its little consolation
For the tears and frustration
The years I wasted on
Chorus
A job well done
When you count the money you'll make
Take a minute, look back on those days
And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of
A job well done
No of course nobody's to blame
But everybody's got a claim
When it comes to being paid
For a job well done.
A job well done
No of course nobody's to blame
When it comes to being paid
For a job well done
