The Workdone (Blow up the pokies)

There was the stage, two red lights and a dodgy P.A.
You trod the planks way back then
And it's strange that you're here again, here again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

Don't, don't explain
Lots of little victories take on the pain
It takes so long to earn
You can double up or you can burn, you can burn

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

Flashing lights, it's a real show
And your wife? I wouldn't go home
The little bundles need care
And you can't be a father there, father there

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again, show them you can be your own man again..

And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To blow up the pokies and drag them away
'Cause they're taking the food off your table
So they can say that the trains run on time

Another man there was made the trains run on time

There was a change. Force and displacement won’t stay the same
You knew the answer back then
Now you need to use it again, it again

And I wish I wish I knew the work done
The force cross displacement, the change in KE
To find out the number of joules used
In moving an object a distance dx

Don’t, don’t derive
The force may vary but you’ll get out alive
You can integrate here
It still works when the path is curved, path is curved.

And I wish I wish I knew the work done
The force cross displacement, the change in KE
To find out the number of joules used
In moving an object a distance dx

And I wish I wish I knew the work done
When the angle is changing, d-theta dt
‘cause the torque in this system’s increasing
So they can conserve total energy

Object falls, look out below
And the mass times acceleration you know
As it falls through the air
It moves the length of a unit square, unit square

And I wish I wish I knew the work done
The force cross displacement, the change in KE
To find out the number of joules used
In moving an object a distance dx
moving an object a distance dx

And I wish I wish I knew the work done
When the angle is changing, d-theta dt
‘cause the torque in this system’s increasing
So they can conserve total energy

Another formula that conserves energy
