Get a fucking job

I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs

And keep it going all night long

I've tried a couple times

Can't keep a nine-to-five

My girlfriend's parents hate my guts

They think I can't provide

Showed up to Christmas night

Wearing a clip-on tie

My friends all go to work

And I can't keep a plant alive

Everybody's thinking that I'll never make it far

With an eighth-grade education and my shitty-ass guitar

But I'm trying, making music 'cause it's praying for my brand-new car

You should get a fucking job

I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (oh)

And keep it going all night long

I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (oh)

On whatever the fuck I want

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

I gotta get it out my chest

I don't wanna know how anyone could ever live a life behind a desk

And I don't go to church no more but I been feeling blessed

'Cause my Tessie busy driving while I'm busy getting he-lla money

And it's kinda funny how the ones who did it right

Still kinda hate their lives

'Cause you should get a fucking job

I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (oh)

And keep it going all night long

I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (oh)

On whatever the fucking I want

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

You should get a fucking job

I don't wanna be like you, I wanna sing my songs (oh)

And keep it going all night long

I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna save my money, wanna blow it all (oh)

On whatever the fuck I want

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up

Getting older, never growing up, up, up, up
