The Job

The Job has never been played live. It's a duet between Thomas and Arnim. This is also the only Beatsteaks song to feature slap bass.

[Intro]

Wohoo-hoo-hoo

[Verse 1]

I gotta move but I'm hanging on

I gotta move 'cause you bring me down

I cannot have you around

I gotta go, gotta let me out

I gotta beg and I ain't too proud

So let me go now for good

[Chorus]

You got stuck today

You got swept away

Knock, knock, it ain't that funny

I can't stop today

And it sucks to say

You got stuck today

Knock, knock, it ain't that funny

[Verse 2]

Well, I got no expextations

You wanna try my patience

Now show me what you've got

I gotta beg and I ain't too proud

I gotta move, I'll be moving out

And this is what it's about

[Chorus]

You got stuck today

You got swept away

Knock, knock, it ain't that funny

I can't stop today

And it sucks to say

Sucking sucks today

Knock, knock, it ain't that funny

[Bridge]

Ain't that funny

[Verse 3]

I got no expectations

I hate my generation

So show me what you've got

They say my shit is twisted

But clearly I am gifted

Now show me what you've got

Bah, bah, bah

You're highly overrated

Irrelevant and dated

Yeah, show me what you've got

If there's no good vibrations

Just rock and roll frustration

Go get yourself a job

[Hook]

Get yourself a job

Get yourself – a job
