Lyrics

This Is My Job

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So cold and wet in the city,

he washes car windows in the night

Tryin' to make a little change,

from the cars as they wait for the light

People show such hostility,

they tell him to go find some work

To them it's all some kind of joke,

but his eyes show how much jokes can hurt

He tells them: you don't understand, but this is my job,

I may have nothing, I refuse to steal and rob

I never imagined this could happen in my life,

but it has, and I'm tryin' to survive

Walk around after midnight,

there's a whole population on the street

Cardboard box for a pillow,

and the steam from the grating for heat

Sometimes it is so overwhelming,

it can wear down your sympathy

But then you see someone holding on,

to a small piece of his dignity

Saying: you don't understand, but this is my job,

I may have nothing, I refuse to steal and rob

I never imagined this could happen in my life,

but it has, and I'm tryin' to survive

You don't understand, but this is my job,

I may have nothing, I refuse to steal and rob

I never imagined this could happen in my life,

but it has, and I'm tryin' to survive

Tryin' to survive, Lord

Tryin' to survive

Just tryin' to stay alive

This is my job

This is my job

I refuse to steal and rob,

So washing car windows is my job
