Work
Troubled Hubble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Work as hard as you can, earn your way
Find someone to come home to at the end of the day
Work as hard as you can, earn your way
Work as hard as you can, earn your way
Don't you ever expect to be appreciated
You are not alone, we all have bad days
When work is not worth the work
Appreciate your legs and walk away
Appreciate your brain and walk away
Some of us work real hard
And some of us don't
Some of us are home a lot
And some of us are working all the time
I say work when you can and when you want
And everything will be fine.
Don't bring work home with you
Don't let it change your mind
Cause people make money, and money makes them
And when money makes people, they're not your friend.
Work as hard as you can, earn your way
Work as hard as you can, earn your way
Find someone to come home to at the end of the day
Someone who understands your overworked and underpaid
The song “Work” by Troubled Hubble is a commentary on the pressures of the modern work culture. The song encourages listeners to focus on working as hard as possible and to find someone to come home to at the end of the day, while still acknowledging that it can be tough to feel appreciated when working. The chorus repeats the phrase “work as hard as you can, earn your way”, emphasizing the idea that one’s worth is determined by how much they work and how much money they make.
The song also acknowledges the toll that work can take on an individual's mental and physical health, especially when it feels like the effort they put in is not worth what they get out of it. The lyrics suggest that it’s important to appreciate the things that allow us to work, such as our legs and brains, but also to walk away when needed. The song highlights the differences in people’s work ethics and schedules, but ultimately encourages listeners to find a healthy balance that works for them.
Overall, Troubled Hubble provides a thought-provoking commentary on work culture and encourages listeners to work hard while still prioritizing their well-being and finding a supportive community outside of work.

Such a great song. Wish we could get the whole penturbia album on here. I once owned it as a kid but it has since been lost. Tragic story.
