Lyrics
I'm a deadbeat loser and I can't keep a job
I acknowledge my shortcomings as a person and struggle with maintaining employment.
Employed for a week and then I'm gone
I get hired for a job, but my employment lasts only a week before I leave.
Hired, hate it, quit, or fired
My work history involves a cycle of being hired, hating the job, quitting, or getting fired, indicating an issue.
Somethings wrong
I sense that something is wrong with my inability to hold down a job.
I'm begging don't tell my mom
I'm embarrassed about my situation and don't want my mom to know.
I can't keep a job
I repeatedly express my frustration with my inability to maintain employment.
I can't keep a job
-I can't keep a job
-Can't keep a job
-Can't keep a job
-Retired pig farmer
I describe a past occupation as a retired pig farmer, with a playful reference to pork chops attracting attention.
I escaped the barn
-Oink oink piggy really made it far
-I could teach you but I have to charge
-My pork chops bring all the girls to the yard
-Had to go apply at Jimmy johns
I narrate an experience applying at Jimmy John's, facing transportation challenges, and quitting after a short stint.
Didn't have a car Mommy dropped me off
-Only 16, I was young
-Skipped my shift and quit
-My mom picked me up
-Shout out Mr. V's
I mention working at Mr. V's, but it didn't last long due to low wages.
Kept those dishes clean
-Lasted a couple weeks
-Cuz they were really cheap
-Hey panda express
Working at Panda Express was chaotic, and I express feelings of depression, even though I was a "cute chef."
My life was such a mess
-A little bit depressed
-I was a cute chef
-Sup home depot
I briefly worked at Home Depot, but my ego was hurt, and I didn't get paid, emphasizing my financial struggles.
Know I steep low
-Quit my first day
-It hurt my ego
-Didn't get paid
-Just let me know
-When you the check
-Cuz Ima cheapo
-I can't keep a job
I reiterate my inability to maintain employment, emphasizing the theme of job instability.
I can't keep a job
-I can't keep a job
-Can't keep a job
-Can't keep a job
-Hey tarshettt
I acknowledge that I haven't changed, despite trying everything, and attribute my perpetual lateness to car troubles.
I haven't changed
-I've tried everything
-But I'm always late
-Car trouble devil
-Just take the bait
I describe working as a forklift driver but admit to skipping work and eventually getting fired, recognizing my need to change.
Never gonna stop
-It's in my DNA
-Forklift driver at a cement shop
-Felt Like a NASCAR driver when I started up
-Got a little boring so I skipped a lot
-Finally got fired
-Ive gotta stop
-Ima deadbeat and I can't keep job
I invite others who identify as deadbeat losers to join me in singing about our shared inability to keep a job, emphasizing the carefree attitude of not wanting to grow up.
Employed week and then I'm gone
-Hired, hate it, quit or fired
-Somethings wrong
-If you're a deadbeat loser sing along
-We can't keep a job
-We can't keep a job
-We can't keep a job
-Who wants to keep a job
-When we only live once
-We can't keep a job
-We can't keep a job
-We can't keep a job
-Who wants to keep a job
-We're never growin up
I conclude by asserting that we, as a group, are not interested in growing up and conforming to traditional expectations.
