Lyrics Moral of the Story - Live - Watsky

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 fucks 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 menace, 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 a Rottweiler, pop my collar when I pop my fur
You're on my nerves, mark my words
Gotta put a leg up and then mark my turf

(Work! Work! Work! Work! Work! Work!) And the moral of the story is
(Work! Work! Work! Work!)
And the moral of the story is
(Chicago let me see two hands!) And the moral of the story is
And the moral of the story is

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
Bitch is anybody in my way it's not misogyny
But if you're blockin' me I will soon defeat you
I will build a bridge above you, I will tunnel underneath you
I will eat you, excrete you, 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! Work! Work! Work! Work!) And the moral of the story is
And the moral of the story is
And the moral of the story is
And the moral of the story is

You all have fun tonight Chicago?
Was it worth the wait?
It was worth the wait for me, and for me getting to see people who have bonded with my music over the years who it means something to
Is something that is so powerful, and so moving to me
And I just wanna say thank you, thank you so much um, there's a lot that goes into this stage show that's more than the musicians that you see here
So I wanna take a moment to acknowledge the breadth of work and talent that it takes to do this
I wanna start with thanking the staff of the Metro, please give it up for everybody here
From the security to the bartendees and the promoters, the techs, everyone
Support your live music scene, and go fucking see live shows
I wanna also thank all of the crew members that we have rolling with us, we have the best touring crew on the entire world that is scientifically provable
We wanna start with Jonathan Olivares our tour manager make some noise!
Kevin Nealon is your production coordinator make some noise for Kevin
Lensing us tonight, but also an amazing muse-musician give it up for big Mikey Squires the fastest man in Connecticut. Big Mikey Squires!
Give it up, for Ashley "Smash" Parker on the front of house console make some noise for "Smash"
And we have Ellie Christie give it up for Ellie Christie running your merch table she is amazing give it up for Ellie!
I also wanna thank Audiotree for streaming the show tonight, you are fucking amazing 'preciate you, Ellie on the streaming side of things and the whole team uh
This is bringing me to the part of the show that I really don't like, which is the part where I start to say my goodbyes
This experience, I know, will be way briefer than I want it to uh, and I know this life is way briefer than I want it to be
But I'm grateful to be here, and living and breathing and experiencing things both good and bad
Being on stages like this has been my dream since I was a kid and this last song I'm gonna do is a love letter to this
Magical journey of live performance I've gotten to take with my friends
It's called "Nothing Like the Last Time"
