This Fucking Job Lyrics - Big To-do - Drive By Truckers

Workin' this job is a kick in the pants 

Workin' this job is like a knife in the back 

It ain't gettin' me further than the dump I live in 

It ain't gettin' me further than the next paycheck 

Workin' this job is like lightin' two fuses 

Workin' this job is runnin' out of excuses 

It's like a dead-end when a road map is useless 

Until I'm dead and there's nothin' to show for my uses 

Nobody told me it'd be easy 

Or for that matter, it'd be so hard 

But it's the livin' and learnin' 

It makes the difference 

It makes it all worthwhile 

It makes it all worthwhile 

Workin' this job, there's nothin' left but to hate it 

I won't get as far as my daddy made it 

It aint gettin' me farther for all my strivin' 

In the dead-end I live or the piece of shit I'm drivin' 

Nobody told me it'd be easy 

Or for that matter, it'd be so hard 

But it's the livin' and learnin' 

It makes the difference 

It makes it all worthwhile 

It makes it all worthwhile 

Sometimes I dream that I had aimed my life in different ways 

But there was nothin' to show me a way to get me outta this place 

So I just did what my daddy did before me 

Only to find the only door I found was closed to me 

Workin' this job, I thought it sucked when I had it 

Now it is gone and I'm learnin' what that is 

I'm tryin' to hang in to the worst of places 

But a family can't live on these fast food wages 

Nobody told me it'd be easy 

Or for that matter, it'd be so hard 

But it's the livin' and learnin' 

It makes the difference 

It makes it all worthwhile 

It makes it all worthwhile 

Workin' this job 

Workin' this job 

Workin' this job
