lyrics

got a job got a job got a job today
steady pay healthcare and a 401k
curriculum vitae's going to get refined
9 to 9 computer chair bound to crush my spine

how do you turn this on
legal paper is the one that is long
and all the colored toner is gone
where does this plant belong

i used to think it was ok - for you to go to work all day
remember that you were blessed - to not have to send remittances

ain't no taxman goin greet you in the afterlife
backpay hey no way i hope you loved your life
jobs - everybody wants a job...jobs - everybody gets a job

lost my job lost my job lost my job today
sat me down wished me well with two weeks of pay
escorted out of the building with my cardboard box
suddenly i notice that i had holes in socks

what is gross misconduct - this duck feels plucked
and i have a got a mistress' luck - which means that I got (*****)

i used to think that it is ok - for me to go to work all day
and now i'm eating on the dole - and looking like a jelly roll

ain't no taxman goin greet you in the afterlife
backpay hey no way i hope you loved your life
jobs - everybody wants a job...jobs - everybody gets a job

love love love your job or love love your life
love love them both and you're gonna win a prize
try working from just 9 to 5
work will be there waiting when the weekend flies by

jobs for you jobs for me jobs for all womankind
heck it beats standing in the unemployment line
work for love work for hate work for your bones
just remember work's at work and not at home

who is blue and who is red - coffins under every bed
in heaven i will work all day - to make the bill collectors go away

ain't no taxman goin greet you in the afterlife
backpay hey no way i hope you loved your life
jobs - everybody wants a job...jobs - everybody gets a job

outer space outer space outer space they got the jobs
inner mongolia-golia they got the jobs
we need some jobs in pittsburgh boys

II
by Spread Joy

supported by 8 fans who also own “Got a Job”

Funky speedy tunes that will put a large smile on your face and make you incontralably twitch until you start dancing/jumping around. Very punky and rich vocal work, with a wide variety of expressions, from sweety warm tone to sour, almost mocking voice, with crystal clear, almost ethereal or childlike moments. Tarage

This is the type of music that I can put on repeat all day. It fills me with a calm energy that pulls me through hard times. If I'd only found these albums earlier, I'd have had more time to listen to them. Thank you, The Sea Life. SWORDDOGGIRL
