lyrics

THIS HAND NEEDS A JOB
Been down on my luck
The factory has closed it’s doors
They shipped it overseas
They gave my job to someone else
I gave them 20 years
Gave them the best years of my life
Fed me a line of shit
I’m out of work and I need a job
The money’s running out
Savings account is almost dry
I’ve been looking for work
Like everyone else in this dead-end town
I’ll take what I can get
I’m not too proud to work in shit
I need to eat to live
Put me to work, this hand needs a job
I need money – this hand needs a job
Let me work for it, baby – this hand needs a job
I’m pretty good with my hands
I’ll mend your fence and fix your car
Just put my skills to work
There’s no job too big or small
I’ll plow your fields
I’m not opposed to killing hogs
I just need to eat
Put me to work, this hand needs a job
I need money – this hand needs a job
Let me work for it, baby – this hand needs a job
This hand needs a job
I’ll take whatever I can get
Put some bucks in my back pocket
So I can pay the rent
Put me straight to work
Cuz I’m the right man for the job
I ain’t afraid of a little dirt
No, I’m not some lazy slob
Give this man a break
I can’t live on hope alone
Give me a chance to show what I can do
Won’t you throw this dog a bone?
This hand needs a job
Stop treatin’ me like some jerk
I’m not asking for a handout
Baby, put me to work
I need money
I need a job
Give me money
Give me a job

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}
