Moral of the Story Lyrics

And the moral of the story is
(Pause)
And the moral of the story is
(Work!) till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard and your bone's all soft
(Just WORK!) till your hands go numb

And they cramp and the fans in the stands go dumb
I write till my fingers look like a bouquet of roses
You gotta bring yourself your flowers now in show biz
Focus it's Quiet Coyote come on let's go kids
Everybody get together with a study buddy
And then talk about the fuck that I don't give
Because it's so big and explosive
But a lotta people don't live, they don't ever get a motive
If you got a goal you gotta hold onto what hope is
If I didn't have it I would ask you where the rope is
Work is my church and so the studio's the closest
I spit it sick until my cootie flow's the grossest
Don't be so pissed just be focused on your own shit
'Cause we Supercalifornialisticsexyandweknowsit
You're not my biness, I go for number one, not a top five finish
You can have a chicken pot pie
But I'm thinking that I'm gonna have another can of Popeye's spinach
I'm Rottweiler, pop my collar when I pop my fur

You're on my nerves, but mark my words

Gotta put a leg up and then mark my turf
WORK!
And the moral of the story is
WORK!
And the moral of the story is
(Work!) till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard and your bone's all soft
(Just WORK!) till your hands go numb
And they cramp and the fans in the stands go dumb
Work until I'm black and yellow black and yellow, worker bee
I just work until I'm black and blue and burgundy
Burgundy, work until I earn that rich mahogany
Honestly, can't you tell I'm working, bitch don't bother me
Show some modesty, if you're watching me

A bitch is anybody in my way it's not misogyny
But if yer blockin' me I will soon defeat you

I will build a above you, or I'll tunnel underneath you
I will eat you and excrete you and I'll feed you to the flowers
If I need to I'll go through you and absorb your fucking powers
I put in hour after hour let's be crystal clear
I'm gonna get there if it takes a day or fifty years
I'll fingerbang my fears, I'll fucking punch a dragon
Even with the Himalayas in my way it's gonna happen
'Cause waiting doesn't work, and praying may not come through
And hoping doesn't work. So I will be the one to
WORK!
And the moral of the story is
WORK!
And the moral of the story is
(Work!) till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard and your bone's all soft
(Just WORK!) till your hands go numb
And they cramp and the fans in the stands go dumb
(Pause)
And maybe someday you might see me in a glossy photo
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo
(Pause)
And maybe someday you might see me in a glossy photo
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo
(Pause)
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo

George Watsky (born September 15, 1986) is a writer and performer who believes in the equal power of the tear and the belly laugh. Born and raised in San Francisco and now based in Los Angeles, he aims to cross-pollinate the stage, screen and stereo with work that speaks to both the humor and frustrations of modern life.

George was featured on Season 6 of Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry on HBO. He was the 2006 Youth Speaks Grand Slam Poetry Champion, 2006 Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam Champion, and performed in a record six consecutive Youth Speaks Grand Slam Finals. The last three of those audiences, all topping out at over 3,000, were the largest ever for poetry slams anywhere in the world. In 2009 Watsky was one of three poets who performed live on FOX at the NAACP Image Awards in honor of Russell Simmons’ lifetime achievement award.

George has made strides to bring his poetic sensibilities to the theater world. His one-man show So Many Levels has been presented in Boston, San Francisco, Vermont, and at the Hip Hop Theater Festival Critical Breaks series in New York City. He has also been featured at the San Francisco and Washington, DC arms of the Hip Hop Theater Festival. He played the title character and co-wrote a 2004 adaptation of Dante’s Divine Comedy for the Living Word Festival and his stage play Harold’s Fall or King Will is the recipient of the 2009 Rod Parker Playwriting Fellowship.
