Bachman-Turner Overdrive Taking Care Of Business lyrics

 
You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be...
Taking care of business, every day
Taking care of business, every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business. and working overtime
Work out
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/bachman_turner_overdrive/taking_care_of_business.html ]
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be...
Taking care of business, every day
Taking care of business, every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

One, two, three, four
And we be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

It speaks to two things; 1) muscians, "... That's the way to do it money for nuthin' and chicks for free" is the way dire straits put it. People who follow their passion for things that aren't commonly considered stable pursuits are perceived as getting off easy. Nothing could be further from the truth! Every pursuit has a cost, even if the risks are different. This brings me to 2) a slam at the work ethic. Labor in the usa is a place you go to punch the clock and work your shift. You have to wade through traffic and bad management decisions you can't seemingly control. Self-employment's no picnic but you do get to call more of your own shots and you don't have to beg the boss when you need a day off.

Being lazy, with no goals or mission in life is a good thing. Laying around, watching the days of your life slip by without purpose or meaning is the way to achieve happiness and fulfillment. Probably not a very good message.

This is a blatantly sarcastic song about the life of musicians. Society sees them as doing nothing all day, and they've embraced that ideal and are making fun of that concept.

I heard this played at the potbelly pub in freeport, long island one night in the early 1980's while i was hangin out with my good friends bill cruz, julius erdi and monica lugavere. My friend jeff trimbley played guitar that night and his group brought the house down. It was a moment in music (and time) to remember ...

Its about how people have boring and hard jobs not making any money, but if you are a rockstar all you have to show yourself having fun and you get a lot of money.

Liberty! (for some reason it says "message to short", but "liberty" covers it. )
