All Work, No Play
May Have Made Jack A Dull Boy
But All Work, No God
Has Left Jack With A Lost Soul
But He's Moving On Full Steam
He's Chasing The American Dream
And He's Gonna Give His Family
The Finer Things
Not This Time Son,
I've No Time To Waste
Maybe Tommorrow
We'll Have Time To Play
And Then He Slips Into
His New B.M.W.
And Drives Farther, And Farther,
And Farther Away
So He Works All Day
And Tries To Sleep At Night
He Says Things Will Get Better
Better In Time
'Cause He Works, And He Builds
With His Own Two Hands
And He Pours All He Has
In A Castle Made With Sand
But The Wind And The Rain
Are Comin' Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long
His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands
His American Dream
Is Beginning To Seem
More And More Like A Nightmare
With Every Passing Day
"Daddy Can You Come To My Game?"
"Oh, Baby Please Don't Work Late."
Another Wasted Weekend
And They Are Slipping Away
'Cause He Works All Day
And Lies Awake At Night
He Tells Them Things Will Get Better
It'll Just Take A Little More Time
'Cause He Works, And He Builds
With His Own Two Hands
And He Pours All He Has
In A Castle Made With Sand
But The Wind And The Rain
Are Comin' Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long
His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands
He Used To Say
"Whoever Dies With The Most Toys Wins;"
But If He Loses His Soul,
What Has He Gained In The End?
I'll Take A Shack On A Rock
Over A Castle In The Sand.
Now He Works All Day
And Cries Alone At Night
It's Not Getting Any Better
Looks Like He's Running Out Of Time
'Cause He Worked, And He Built
With His Own Two Hands
And He Poured All He Had
In A Castle Made With Sand
But The Wind And The Rain
Are Comin' Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long
His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands
All They Really Wanted Was You
All They Really Wanted Was You
All They Really Wanted Was You
