Working this job is a kick in the pants
Working this job is like a knife in the back

It ain't getting me further than the dump I live in

It ain't getting me further than the next paycheck

Working this job is like lighting two fuses
Working this job is running out of excuses

It's like a dead-end when a road map is useless

Until I'm dead and there's nothing to show for my uses

Nobody told me it'd be easy

Or for that matter it'd be so hard

But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile

Makes it all worthwhile

Working this job, there's nothing left but to hate it
I won't get as far as my daddy made it

It ain't getting me farther for all my striving

In the dead-end I live on or the piece of shit I'm driving

Nobody told me it'd be easy

Or for that matter it'd be so hard

But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile

Makes it all worthwhile

Sometimes I dream that I had aimed my life in different ways

But there was nothing to show me a way to get me outta this place

So I just did what my daddy did before me

Only to find the only door I found was closed to me

Working this job, I thought it sucked when I had it
Now it is gone and I'm learning what that is

I'm trying to hang on to the worst of places

But a family can't live on these fast food wages

Nobody told me it'd be easy

Or for that matter it'd be so hard

But it's the living and the learning
It makes the difference, it makes it all worthwhile

Makes it all worthwhile
