This Fucking Job

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 the learnin'
 It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
 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 ain't gettin' me farther for all my strivin'
 In the dead-end I live on 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 the learnin'
 It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
 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 on 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 the learnin'
 It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile
 Makes it all worthwhile
