I Need a Job!

[instrumental intro] [verse] Studying this crap and it's all just getting stale Just a few more days and then I'm free unless I fail Once I pass this dumb exam my future will be all but set But I don't think it's time for me to buy a Benz just yet [break] [pre-chorus] Everybody says this test will jump-start my career But a job's not guaranteed and right now that's my biggest fear It used to be that jobs were there and you just had to reach and grab one But now the world is different and it's looking like there ain't none [chorus] Time for a job! The world's my oyster and I gotta find a pearl I need a job! I did my time and now my skills need to unfurl Where is my job!? I waited patiently but now it is my turn Give me a job! I'm tired of playing games — now is the time for me to earn [break] [verse] My resumes are out but ain't no jobs coming my way Interviews seem good, they say they'll call me any day Bills are stacking up I'm gonna lose my place to live I need a chance to prove myself but that's the one thing they won't give [break] [pre-chorus] They told me that the market would be red-hot when I was done But it's far from hot - it's freezing cold. Job offers - there are none I need a chance to prove myself - I think you would agree I thought the hard part was that test - I guess the joke's on me [chorus] Time for a job! The world's my oyster and I gotta find a pearl I need a job! I did my time and now my skills need to unfurl Where is my job!? I waited patiently but now it is my turn Give me a job! I'm tired of playing games — now is the time for me to earn [break] [bridge] They say I'm qualified or even too much some have said Experience is what I lack, those words I've come to dread I'd really like to go to work, I'm ready for the grind Open my mail and there it is - "Application Declined!" [guitar solo] [pre-chorus] Everybody says this test will jump-start my career But a job's not guaranteed and right now that's my biggest fear It used to be that jobs were there and you just had to reach and grab one But now the world is different and it's really looking like there ain't none [chorus] Time for a job! The world's my oyster and I gotta find a pearl I need a job! I did my time and now my skills need to unfurl Where is my job!? I waited patiently but now it is my turn Give me a job! I'm tired of playing games — now is the time for me to earn [reprise] Time for a job! I need a job! Where is my job!? Give me a job! [break] [chorus] Time for a job! The world's my oyster and I gotta find a pearl I need a job! I did my time and now my skills need to unfurl Where is my job!? I waited patiently but now it is my turn Give me a job! I'm tired of playing games — now is the time for me to earn [end]
