Why Don't You Get a Job?
Performed By: The Offspring
From the album: "Americana" (1998)


My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "Man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend, you gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay ya
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?

I guess all his money
Well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money
Well it isn't enough
'Cause that girl's got expensive taste

I won't pay, I won't pay ya
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?


Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah
But hey man free rides just don't come along, everyday

Let me tell you about my other friend now

My friend's got a boyfriend
Man she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend, you gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay ya
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?

I won't give you no money
I always pay
Na na why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way
No way
Na na why don't you get a job?
