1
In the middle of late last night I was sittin' on a curb
2
I didn't know what about but I was feeling quite disturbed
3
A street sweeper came whistlin' by
4
He was bouncin' every step
5
It seemed strange how good he felt
6
So I asked him while he swept
7
He said "It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
8
And that's enough reason to go for me
9
It's my job to be better than the rest
10
And that makes the day for me"
11
Got an uncle who owns a bank he's a self made millionaire
12
He never had anyone to love never had no one to care
13
He always to seemed kind of sad to me
14
So I asked him why that was
15
And he told me it's because in my contract there's a clause
16
That says "It's my job to worried half to death
17
And that's the thing people respect in me
18
It's a job but without it I'd be less
19
Than what I expect from me"
20
I've been lazy most all of my life
21
Writing songs and sleeping late
22
Any manual labor I've done purely by mistake
23
If street sweepers can smile then
24
I've got no right to feel upset
25
But sometimes I still forget
26
Till the lights go on and the stage is set
27
And the song hits home and you feel that sweat
28
It's my job to be different than the rest
29
And that's enough reason to go for me
30
It's my job to be better than the best
31
And that's a tough break for me
32
It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
33
And that's enough reason to go for me
34
It's my job to be better than the best
35
And that makes the day for me
