Get A Job Lyrics

I've been wasting my life for 19 years.
I'm tired of sitting around,
Watching football and drinking beer.
I don't want to go to work.
Pushed around by a fuckin jerk.
I don't wanna do anything.
But my life is in a rut.
An education I gave up.
I don't want to do anything.

Oh yeah! I'm going out to get a job.
I'm gonna rise up to the top.
I'm gonna make a million dollars.
A couple years have gone by,
I feel I'm getting old.
Nothing to do with my life.
I'm just a loser with nowhere to go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
