Work Is a State Function

If our days get passed like magazines
And all of the friends we make have our pictures inside
Then I would choose to sever trees of time

And if our days drip like icicles
Shrink as the sun comes up
Get bigger at night
Then you would choose to wake up when it's light

Well are you gonna be inspired when you think the Earth's shaped perfectly
And every night's the same
But she'll bring it up again to you

Oh are you gonna be inspired if it turns out work is permanent
And half your life's the same
Will the other half be made to change?

If stars say that they hate when they're talked about
Is it such a drag when you make a famous person feel loved
And really does anybody miss them when they're gone

And if the Rorchach shapes out in front of you
If you took the dark parts and made what the other half drew
And am i just reflecting all the ways you can shake off

Well are you gonna be inspired when you think the Earth's shaped perfectly
And every night's the same
But she'll bring it up again to you

Oh are you gonna be inspired if it turns out work is permanent
And half your life's the same
Will the other half be made to change?
