Artist/Band: The Offspring
Lyrics for Song: Why Don't You Get A Job?
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits [2005]



My friend's got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch,

He tells me every day.

He says: "Man, I really gotta lose my chick

In the worst kind of a 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 ya', no way,

Na-na why don't you get a job?"



I guess all this money... well, it isn't enough,

To keep the bill collectors at bay.

I guess all this 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 ya', 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 ride's just to come on along, every day.



(Let me tell ya bout the other friend now.)



My friend's got a boyfriend and 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 ya', no way,

Na-na why don't you get a job?"



"I won't give ya' no money, I always pay,

Na-na why don't you get a job?"

Say "No way", say "No way ya', no way,

Na-na why don't you get a joooooooob?"



Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy.


Why Don't You Get A Job?

Released on The Offspring's 2005 Greatest Hits compilation, "Why Don't You Get A Job?" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature punk-pop fusion. The track features the group's characteristic driving rhythm and aggressive vocal delivery, delivered by Dexter Holland with his trademark wit and frustration. As a staple of their discography, the song encapsulates the raw energy and social commentary that defined the mid-1990s alternative rock scene. It remains a defining anthem for the genre, frequently covered and celebrated for its catchy melody and unapologetic attitude.
