Analysis of "Our Job"
Working hard does make us tired
but man does it feel good.
To complete a task that must be done,
the way we know it should.
Making sure we've done it right,
so pride in it have we.
Doing our job with confidence,
expecting nothing less to be.
Working hard does make us tired
but keeps our conscience free.
By completing a task that must be done,
beyond the call...of duty.
