I Don't Wanna Work
Queers · Day Late & A Dollar Short [1996]
I never hold a job for more than a week.
My father was a rich man; and my mother, a geek.
People say I'm lazy, and they say I'm a jerk.
And they're getting pissed 'cause I don't wanna work.
'Cause I don't wanna work.
Well, I don't wanna work.
I never hold a job for more than a week.
My father was a rich man; and my mother, a geek.
People say I'm lazy, and they say I'm a jerk.
And they're getting pissed 'cause I don't wanna work.
'Cause I don't wanna work.
Well, I don't wanna work.
I don't wanna work.
Well, I don't wanna work.

I don't wanna work.
I don't wanna work.
Well, I don't wanna work.
'Cause I don't wanna work.
