Intro

Verse 1

Well I'm thinking back

On the damage you've done

And I knew I couldn't reason with you

So I had to run

And I ran so far

Fought hard

To start my life again

And I guess my mind must be a special kind of garden

Cos you planted your shit seeds

But they didn't stay rotten

No they blossomed into flowers

In my brain

Now I'm paying you for

Chorus

A job well done

When you count the money you'll make

Take a minute, look back on those days

And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of

A job well done

No of course nobody's to blame

But everybody's got a claim

When it comes to being paid

For a job well done.

Verse 2

Now I'm not allowed to tell it

So Ill write it in a song

And I know that when you hear it

You'll say that I'm wrong

Cos a man like you

Is blind to the truth

Your life's a fucking lie

And all those stories you been telling yourself

When you look at my albums lining up on your shelf

All the various reasons I owe you, I know you,

Now let me show you

Chorus

A job well done

When you count the money you'll make

Take a minute, look back on those days

And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of

A job well done

No of course nobody's to blame

But everybody's got a claim

When it comes to being paid

For a job well done.

Bridge

Maybe someday

You'll realize your mistakes

And maybe make yourself accountable for one

And they say success has many parents

But failure is an orphan

Verse 3

Well I'm working real hard

Trying to make it make sense

And I'm looking at my life

And I'm making amends

For every word I never said

Every thought in my head

I was so misled

And nothing you say could ever right these wrongs

And I tell myself its worth it

Cos I got this song

But its little consolation

For the tears and frustration

The years I wasted on

Chorus

A job well done

When you count the money you'll make

Take a minute, look back on those days

And know all this good is in spite of you and not because of

A job well done

No of course nobody's to blame

But everybody's got a claim

When it comes to being paid

For a job well done.

A job well done

No of course nobody's to blame

When it comes to being paid

For a job well done
