The Job
Breaking Free: Beatsteaks' Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
I gotta move but I'm hanging on
Feeling conflicted about leaving but recognizing the need to move on.
I gotta move 'cause you bring me down
Feeling the necessity to leave because someone or something is negatively impacting.
I cannot have you around
Recognizing the inability to have the negative influence around.
I gotta go gotta let me out
Expressing the urgency to depart and break free.
I gotta beg and I ain't too proud
Willingness to humble oneself to plead for release.
So let me go now for good
Desiring a final and definite separation.
You got stuck today
Reiteration of someone being stuck or trapped in a situation that's not enjoyable or humorous.
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
-Well, I got no expectations
Having no specific hopes or requirements.
You wanna try my patience
Challenging someone to test patience.
Now show me what you've got
Asking for a demonstration of capabilities or intentions.
I gotta beg and I ain't too proud
Reiterating the willingness to humble oneself for departure.
I gotta move, I'll be moving out
Committing to leaving and emphasizing the reason behind it.
And this is what it's about
Clarifying the purpose or meaning of the departure.
You got stuck today
Reiteration of feeling stuck, unable to stop, and the situation not being amusing.
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)
-And it sucks to say (and it sucks to say)
-Sucking sucks today
-Knock, knock, it ain't that funny
-Ain't that funny
Repeating the irony or lack of humor in the situation.
Ain't that funny
-Ain't that funny
-I got not expectations
Having no specific expectations but disliking one's own generation.
I hate my generation
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current generation.
So show me what you've got
Requesting a demonstration of someone's abilities or intentions.
They say my shit is twisted
Acknowledging criticism but also acknowledging personal talent or uniqueness.
But clearly I am gifted
Asking for a display of capabilities or intentions.
Now show me what you've got
Exclaiming a sound, possibly emphasizing a point or expressing frustration.
Bah, bah, bah
Criticizing someone as being overvalued, irrelevant, and outdated.
You're highly overrated
Requesting a display of abilities or intentions.
Irrelevant and dated
If there's no positivity or excitement, expressing frustration with mere dissatisfaction.
Yeah, show me what you've got
Suggesting a solution if things aren't going well—getting a job.
If there's no good vibrations
Just rock and roll frustration
If there's no positive energy, then embracing the frustration of rock and roll.
Go get yourself a job
Advice or suggestion to find meaningful occupation.
Get yourself a job
Reiteration of the advice to get a job.
Get yourself a job
-Get yourself a job
-Get yourself a job
