von The Offspring

Worum geht es in dem Song?

In dem Songtext "Why Don't You Get a Job?" von The Offspring geht es um zwei Freunde, die unglücklich mit ihren Partnern...

My friend's got a girlfriend,
Man he hates that bitch.
He tells me everyday.
He says: "Man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way".

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say:

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a job

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a job

Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all oh yeah
But hey man free rides just don't come along
Every day

Let me tell you about my other friend now!

My friend's got a boyfriend man and she hates that dick (and the guy!)
She tells me every day (woo! everyday now)
He wants more dinero just to stay at home (stay at home!)
Well my friend
You gotta say: (gotta say!)

I won't pay, I won't pay ya (woo), no way (no way!)
(nana) Why don't you get a job (woo - get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a job
(oh yeah!)
I won't give you no money
I always pay (no money)
(nana) Why don't you get a job (get a job!)
Say no way, say no way ya, no way
(nana) Why don't you get a
Job!
