NOTES
"Our lyrics are autobiographical biting and cynical because
that's the type of person I am. There's 'Work For Love', which
could be a hit. But even thats cynical in its way. It's a song
about a gigolo. As I said, it's all autobiographical."
- Al Jourgensen,
Illinois Entertainer, 09/82

LYRICS (official)
Hey!
You said you needed full time help
'Cause you're all alone
I said I'd work for nothing at all
If I just could take you home
And now you're taking applications
For your love
You wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above
Work!... for love
Finally got my resume
And you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, "Girl, hey, do it if you dare
Where I'd like to go, our love will flare"
Finally my letter arrived
And I knew you would be mine
Instead I had to prove my turf
For the first two weeks work overtime
Work!... for love
You've got to work for love (had enough, had enough?)
