Birth, School, Work, Death is the second studio album by the alternative rock band the Godfathers, released in February 1988 by Epic.

Michael Sutton, writing for AllMusic, called the band's sound "tough," describing it as "brass-knuckled punches in the form of menacing, explosive riffs; venom-spewing, nihilistic vocals; body-slamming percussion."

"[6] Trouser Press concurred, feeling that the album "seethes with the anger and aggression that seems to have all but gone out of non-hardcore British post-punk rock.

Manhead covered the song "Birth, School, Work, Death" in 2004.

Local H covered the song "Birth, School, Work, Death" in 2003 and it appears on The No Fun EP.
