Get A Job Lyrics

[Intro]
"Get a fucking job"
I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs
And keep it going all night long

[Verse 1]
I've tried a couple times, can't keep a nine-to-five
My girlfriend's parents hate my guts, they think I can't provide
Showed up to Christmas night wearin' a clip-on tie
My friends all go to work and I can't keep a plant alive

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody's thinking that I'll never make it far
With an eighth-grade education and my shitty-ass guitar
But I'm tryin' making music 'cause it's paying for my brand new car

[Chorus]
"You should get a fucking job"
I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (Hey)
And keep it going all night long
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (All)
On whatever the fuck I want
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
[Verse 2]
I gotta get it off my chest
I don't know how anyone can ever live a life behind a desk
And I don't go to church no more, but I've been feeling blessed
'Cause my Tessie busy drivin' while I'm busy getting hella money
And it's kinda funny how the ones who did it right
Still kinda hate their lives, 'cause

[Chorus]
"You should get a fucking job"
I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (Hey)
And keep it going all night long
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (All)
On whatever the fuck I want
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)

[Bridge]
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

[Chorus]
"You should get a fucking job"
I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (Hey)
And keep it going all night long
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (All)
On whatever the fuck I want
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up (Up)
[Outro]
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up
Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
