This Fucking Job

(アルバム： The Big To-Do - 2010)

Working this job is a kick in the pants
Working this job is like a knife in the back
It ain't getting me further than the dump I live in
It ain't getting me further than the next paycheck

Working this job is like lighting two fuses
Working this job is running out of excuses
It's like a dead-end when a road map is useless
Until I'm dead and there's nothing to show for my uses

Nobody told me it'd be easy
Or for that matter it'd be so hard
But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
Makes it all worthwhile

Working this job, there's nothing left but to hate it
I won't get as far as my daddy made it
It ain't getting me farther for all my striving
In the dead-end I live on or the piece of shit I'm driving

Nobody told me it'd be easy
Or for that matter it'd be so hard
But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
Makes it all worthwhile

Sometimes I dream that I had aimed my life in different ways
But there was nothing to show me a way to get me outta this place
So I just did what my daddy did before me
Only to find the only door I found was closed to me

Working this job, I thought it sucked when I had it
Now it is gone and I'm learning what that is
I'm trying to hang on to the worst of places
But a family can't live on these fast food wages

Nobody told me it'd be easy
Or for that matter it'd be so hard
But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
Makes it all worthwhile
