This Note's For You

Neil Young This Note's For You Lyrics
1.Ten Men Workin'

We are men at work
We got a job to do
We gotta keep you rockin'
To keep your soul from the blue.
Well, we work all day
Then we work all night
We got to keep you dancin'
Gotta make you feel alright.

Ten men workin',
ten men workin' tonight.

We gotta dig the groove
We're gonna hammer the blues
You can't sit down
'Cause we got a job to do.
We gotta dig the groove
We're gonna hammer the blues
You can't sit down
'Cause we got a job to do.

Ten men workin',
ten men workin' tonight.

We are men at work
We got a job to do
We gotta keep you rockin'
To keep your soul from the blue.
Well, we work all day
Then we work all night
We got to keep you dancin'
Gotta make you feel alright.

Ten men workin',
ten men workin' tonight.

We gotta dig the groove
We're gonna hammer the blues
You can't sit down
'Cause we got a job to do.
We gotta dig the groove
We're gonna hammer the blues
You can't sit down
'Cause we got a job to do.

Ten men workin',
ten men workin' tonight.


2.This Note's For You

Don't want no cash
Don't need no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.

Ain't singin' for Pepsi
Ain't singin' for Coke
I don't sing for nobody
Makes me look like a joke
This note's for you.

Ain't singin' for Miller
Don't sing for Bud
I won't sing for politicians
Ain't singin' for Spuds
This note's for you.

Don't need no cash
Don't want no money
Ain't got no stash
This note's for you.

I've got the real thing
I got the real thing, baby
I got the real thing
Yeah, alright.


3.Coupe De Ville

I got a coupe de ville
I got a bed in the house
Where you once lived.

I had a few cheap thrills
But they cost me a lot more
Than I could give.

I got a right
in this crazy world
To live my life
like anyone else
How long can I
carry this monkey around
All by myself.

If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else.

Well, I hit the wall
Woke up this mornin'
And I hit the wall.

Yeah, I hit the wall
Woke up this mornin'
And I hit the wall.

I got a right
in this crazy world
To live my life
like anyone else
How long can I
carry this monkey around
All by myself.

If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else
If I can't have you
I don't want nothin' else.


4.Life In The City

People sleepin' on the sidewalks
On a rainy day
Families livin' under freeways
It's the American way
Starvin' in the city
While the farm goes to seed
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.

Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.

All our old hangouts
Are boarded up and closed
Or being sold to someone
Nobody knows
I got a woman that loves me
And I love her so
She's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.

Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that trouble you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.

That's life in the city.

Listen to me people
Hear what I have to say
Ever since I was knee high
I rocked my blues away
But people
sleepin' on the sidewalks
And families in need
Murder in the home
And crime on the streets.

Don't that trouble you brother?
Don't that trouble you pal?
Don't that kill you sister?
Well, that's life in the city.
