about

I amused myself with the title and thought it could be a fun Travoltas song. My girlfriend and I spent a snow day working on the words but she thought they were "mean." I thought they were funny. Yes, the character is a little bit sad but when I was a kid my grandmother really said those things and I couldn't ever imagine why a child would be encouraged to shoot so low. At this current moment in time this is my favorite thing I've ever done. That shows you where my heads at!

lyrics

i’ve got a job! (words by gaines greer & salim nourallah; music by salim nourallah)

when i was a boy my Grandma said
i think you’d make a good shoe salesman…”
i was thinking an Astronaut
so i’m pretty sure i undershot
now i’ve got a desk, a cubicle
a parking pass but the lot’s always full
instant oatmeal at 6am
sitting on the freeway in traffic again

don’t have a girl
don’t have much fun
i can’t remember my last vacation
i don’t work out
i don’t sleep in
can’t even stay awake past ten
i’ve got a job!
i’ve got a job!

so i’ve bought some pants with pleats in front
i like to wear ‘em with my blue button ups
my boss tells me that my work’s alright
but we’re not promoting anyone at this time
i try to talk to the new receptionist
work up the nerve to ask her to breakfast
but someone sent her flowers yesterday
i’m pretty sure she doesn’t like me anyway

i don’t eat right
why should i try?
frozen dinners are just fine
don’t see my friends
there’s never time
i’m always beat on Friday night

i’ve got a job!
