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.
