Okay. You hate your job? Great. Get a better one. Get a better one. Phone got cut off? Pick up a shift Boss is an asshole? Polish the résumé quick Car broke down? I drove one worse Had jumper cables And a pocket full of curse words I started broke Didn't stay that way Worked all night Learned more all day Nobody showed up Nobody came through So forgive me if I'm asking What the hell are you gonna do? You can tell me that it's unfair You can tell me that it sucks But sympathy don't pay the mortgage And complaining don't make bucks Stop crying, get money Get a better job if the paycheck's funny Bills keep coming? Then work all day Your success is on you Now get outta the way Stop crying, get money Stop waiting around for somebody's money Nobody's coming to make the world free You want something better? That's on you, not me (Get money!) I ate cheap noodles I slept on floors Worked one job Then went looking for more Learned a trade Learned what it pays Learned real quick What was wasting my days Changed my number Changed my town Changed my whole damn field around Took the crap job Got the good one Then left that too When a better one showed up You keep saying "They should fix this" "They should make this right" Meanwhile I've been job hunting Since eleven-thirty last night I'm not saying you can't struggle I'm not saying life's a breeze I'm just saying yelling "somebody!" Ain't a financial strategy Stop crying, get money Get a better job if the paycheck's funny Bills keep coming? Then work all day Your success is on you Now get outta the way Stop crying, get money Stop waiting around for somebody's money Nobody's coming to make the world free You want something better? That's on you, not me I know the rent went up. Mine did too. I know groceries cost more. I buy groceries. I know your boss is underpaying you. So why are you still there? I don't control the economy. I control where I clock in Monday. STOP CRYING, GET MONEY GET A BETTER JOB IF THE PAYCHECK'S FUNNY Bills keep coming? Then work all day Your success is on you Now get outta the way STOP CRYING, GET MONEY Can't make enough? Go learn something, honey Nobody's coming to make the world free You can wait for the rescue Or you can be me STOP CRYING, GET MONEY Stop asking the world To make hard things comfy Life gave me nothing I made mine pay Your success is on you Now get outta the way "But what if my job doesn't pay enough?" Yeah. We've covered this.
