I Dont Want a Job by Ren Stedman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I sing songs 'cause I say it's what I wanna do
But in reality I can't do nothing else
And I play gigs and I say I write my songs for you
But all I ever do is sing about myself
[Verse 2]
And I work hard, well at least that's what I say to them
But realistically I can't be arsed for shit
So I don't work, 'cause what's the point when I'll give up
And people ask my reasoning, well that's just it
[Chorus]
It may be thirty years along I'll have proved every bastard wrong
That I can do something with my time
But the only problem is that I won't do work for piss
I just want to play guitar and sing and rhyme
[Verse 3]
And I am skint, 'cause it's rare that I get paid for this
But I've always got enough to get a beer
So I complain that nothing's ever good enough
But I'm just the same as everybody here
[Chorus]
It may be thirty years along I'll have proved every bastard wrong
That I can do something with my time
But the only problem is that I won't do work for piss
I just want to play guitar and sing and rhyme
[Bridge]
And all of the time that I'm standing on stage
I know that what I sing about is never gonna change
And I'll never get a job because I really can't be arsed
I'll just carry on until my penny's last
All of the time that I'm standing on stage
I know that what I sing about is never gonna change
I'll never get a job 'cause I really can't be arsed
I'll just carry on until my penny's last
[Chorus]
It may be thirty years along I'll have proved every bastard wrong
That I can do something with my time
But the only problem is that I won't do work for piss
I just want to play guitar and sing and rhyme
And I sing songs 'cause I say it's what I wanna do
But in reality I can't do nothing else
And I play gigs and I say I write my songs for you
But all I ever do is sing about myself
[Verse 2]
And I work hard, well at least that's what I say to them
But realistically I can't be arsed for shit
So I don't work, 'cause what's the point when I'll give up

[Chorus]
It may be thirty years along I'll have proved every bastard wrong
That I can do something with my time
But the only problem is that I won't do work for piss
