I need a job
Worse than a dead man needs a coffin
Walkin' the street, ooh-ooh 
I'm starvin'
I went downtown yesterday 
To get me some of that free cheese
But they gave it all to away
By the time they got to me

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I need a job

My stomach thinks my throat is cut
Hard times, hard times
Oh, it's kickin' my butt
Ain't had no money 
Since the June of 2001
From payin' 'em off
Doin' without losin' your house 
Ain't no fun
Give me some work, I ain't too proud to beg
I don't care what I do
I gotta take some money home
So I can pull my family though

I need a job
I need a job
Give me a job

Rent 
Takes every cent
Food is so high 
It would be cheaper if we ate the morning
Call it what you want 
Use your expression (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Now let's budget cut back 
Or steal the program 
It's all depression

I need a job (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh, I need a job

Uh, s'cuse me sir, are y'all hirin' here today?
Uh, what do I do?
Well, I'm learnin'
I'm a singer, I'm a musician
Uh, what you mean, uh
You can't use me here?
I mean I can do things other than that 
I have done things other than that before 
I became a singer and a musician
I mean, I need a job
I gotta make some money
I mean you, you can at least give
A person a chance, you know?
Uh-uh wait, wait, wait a minute
Uh-uh, mister look, you gotta
Get behind me now 'cause 
I'm standin' up there talkin' to this 
Man right now 'bout, uh
Givin' me a job
I mean, I mean you can't just be
Jumpin' in front of me now
'Cause I mean I'm desperate right now
I don't want no problems 
You know? 
I'll do somethin' to you right out there, you know?
You you you you wrong, you wrong, you wrong
Uh, uh, yeah, okay uh, uh, about that job
Now you gon' give me a chance
To-to-to, to just show you what I can do
I mean y'all ain't doing nothing'
But diggin' holes and carryin'
Bricks and planks and stuff
I mean I don't need no PhD for that
And I'm strong, you can see that
Give me a job
