lyrics

Well, they'll say that good help
That it's hard to find
Well, I say
So is a job that won't break
Your body, your soul, and your mind
If I could only find one that won't take
Anything more than my time
Well hey, that'd be fine

Do as much as you can
With as little as they'll give
And so long as we're all shakin' hands
They'll pay you just enough to live
Look up the minimum wage,
Maybe even add a couple of quarters
But you know, time is tight for business
I'm afraid that's all they can afford yas

Still they'll say that good help
That it's hard to find
Well, I still say
That so is a job that won't break
Your body, your soul, and your mind
If I could only find one that won't take
Anything more than my time
Well hey, tell me where do I sign?

Now it ain't like I
Like I don't wanna work
Why, I'm as happy as a pig in shit
Comin' home all covered in dirt
No, the only thing
That I desire
Is to not have to go and work for
Some capitalistic liar

Who will say that good help
That it's hard to find
'Cause I know
That so is a job that won't break
Your body, your soul, and your mind
If I could only find one that won't take
Anything more than my time
Well, Mmmm mhmmm mhmm
Just leave me my mind
