Lyric discussion by great geo234 

Cover art for Boss of Me lyrics by They Might Be Giants

The narrator quit his job, insulted his boss and now has no money for a tv. in the second part, he tries to take tests to et jobs but he always fails. But he likes not having a job. With a job, life is unfair.

@great geo234 I like this interpretation and agree with you. Life is indeed unfair but he likes it better without those effing authority figures.
