Drive-By Truckers - This f***ing job lyrics

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 workin' this job
Workin' this job workin' this job
