Janie Jones--The Clash. I can't think of a better song about work. Nothing even comes close, really.

Best recent song about work: 5:15 am, by Pipi Skid, the Stairway To Heaven of raps about working in a nursing home kitchen.

I think Chuck Eddy or Lester Bangs or somebody once wrote something to the effect that ALL rocknroll songs are about jobs/work/working in one way or another.
