The Lyrics

With the U.S. economy in the crapper, here's a song many people can relate to.
This country's in shambles and man, it's a bitch
It just gets worse everyday
If I can't find work, somebody will get hit
In the worst kind of way

Thrown out on my ass, I worked my hands to the bone
I really needed every payday
I just can't afford to sit around at home
And each day, I gotta say

I can't pay, everyday, yeah, no way
Na na why can't I get a job?
This is lame, this is lame, yeah, everyday
Na na why can't I get a job?

A minimum wage job well, it won't be enough
To keep my bill collectors at bay
I found one cleaning toilets, but you know that'd be rough
I'd have to do it till I'm put in the grave

I can't pay, everyday, yeah, no way
Na na why can't I get a job?
This is lame, this is lame, yeah, everyday
Na na why can't I get a job?

Well it sure isn't easy being poor at all, woah yeah
I guess I should've saved my dough all along, every day

I just lost my house and, dude, that really does suck
The bank, they just took it away
It's at the point where I just don't give a f***
Why'd Bush have to make it this way?

I can't pay, everyday, yeah, no way
Na na why can't I get a job?
This is lame, this is lame, yeah, everyday
Na na why can't I get a job?

I just don't, Have the money, I never can pay
Na na why can't I get a job?
This is lame, this is lame, yeah, everyday
Na na why can't I get a job?
