About the song
The vast majority of jobs in this song I've actually at one point or another held. This was one of my most creative songs from project 2, and one of my newest actual parodies. I've always wanted to write a song about the topic, just couldn't find a good song to do it to until Five for Fighting's "100 Years" came along.
Lyrics
I'm mowing lawns at the moment
Charging about 15 dollars
and I'm just dreaming
saving my change for a car

I'm bagging cans at the moment
My income's better than ever
and I just bought it
Driving around in that new car

Mowing lawns won't pull me through
Bagging groceries, tried that too
15, There's always a curse, my job's the worst
There's only so many Dead End Jobs to learn

I'm at your door for the moment
Pepperoni with a side of breadsticks
I'm driving away babe
Your neighbor's next on the list

I'll check you in for a moment
Give you a key to your hotel room
Now chasing my tears with Mountain Dew

Delivery was so bad too
The hotel gave me the flu
and then I quit a job again

15 times I've left and gone, 15
There's always a curse, my jobs the worst
There's only so many dead end jobs to learn

Check Cashing's alright
We ripped off a guy
And that job was gone
The pool store wasn't too long
now I am OK, I'm moving on

I'm an escort for a moment
I'll drop my drawers for a hundred
and I'm still dreaming
Now hopping for another car

15 jobs I've tried to do
Even tried to shovel poo
Convenience store I'm on my way
Got a new job today. . .

Ooohh hooo oooh
Ooohh hooo oooh
Ooohh hooo oooh hooo hoo hoooooooo

Theater I'm Sick of you
I can't stand no more fast food
Theme Parks, There's Always a curse my job's the worst
When You've only got a hundred jobs to quit
