Working movie - Something to Point To lyrics

rate me

<br>

see that building<br>

i was the one who did the design<br>

i was the one who drafted the plan<br>

every detail and every line<br>

see that building <br>

i ran the crane that lifted the beams<br>

i was teh guy that worked up above<br>

look at those bricks, those bricks are mine<br>

see that building<br>

look how my door hangs in the frame<br>

see that building <br>

forty flights up i scratched my name<br>

<br>

see that building<br>

i'm on the staff, i work as a guard<br>

i clean the floors and i clean 'em good<br>

people don't know my job is hard<br>

see that building <br>

five days a week i work at a desk<br>

i do the books, i handle the mail<br>

nine on the dot i punch my card<br>

<br>

see that window <br>

up by the ledge<br>

ten from the top<br>

see that window<br>

count from the left<br>

one, two , three, syop<br>

that's where i work<br>

<br>

everyone shoul dhave something to point to<br>

something to be proud of <br>

look what i did <br>

see what i've done<br>

i did the job<br>

i was the one<br>

evryone should have something to point to<br>

someway to be tall in the crowd<br>

proud<br>

<br>

see that building<br>

day after day after day after day<br>

that's where i put myself on the line<br>

that's where i sweat to earn my pay<br>

see that building<br>

that's where i put the food on our plates<br>

that's where i've lived a piece of my life<br>

where i can bring my kids and say<br>

<br>

see that building<br>

the lumber was cut<br>

decisions were made<br>

see that building<br>

the windows are washed <br>

the site was surveyed<br>

the memos are typed<br>

the concrete was laid<br>

the records are kept<br>

the office is run<br>

the coffee is sold <br>

the digging was done<br>

the building was built <br>

for all eyes to see <br>

by <br>

me<br>

<br>

<br>
