This is a song about the frustrations of finding a job in the modern era
Story behind the song
My sister is looking for a job and she's been telling me about the hassles of it.
Lyrics
The Job Hunt
Patrick Thompson

I gotta find a job
I gotta make some money
Gotta pay the rent and fill up the car
Looking for the job site
Fill the questions out right
hope my email doesnt do something bizarre
Check my data daily
schmoozed the HR Lady
and she made it sound like I was a star
Now I gotta wait
Hoping for the call back
Im just about to ready to light the cigar
Did I get it, did I get It?
Dammit
I gotta find a job
I gotta make some money
Gotta feed the dog and keep the lights on
Im looking on the web
Im looking in the paper
Im looking anywhere I cast my eyes on
But then its getting shady
They want a charge to pay me
Some job ads are just a big con
So I try to make a call
But my signal isnt working
Its been on and off all day so
Did I get it, did I get It?
Dammit
The job hunt is a nightmare
with all the emails and texting and calls
You pray your technology is working
but even if it is, that text code can stall
Sometimes they are hiring
But, Sometimes they are not
But then other times
their double speak
is all that you got
Did I get it, did I get It?
Dammit
I gotta find a job
I gotta make some money
Gotta pay the bills and get me some food
So I was grocery shopping
This lanky dude was mopping
He looked at me and asked if I was in a mood
I told him I was stressed
I need to find employment
And maybe he could tell me something good
And he said that he was certain
They needed a new person
If I applied I might get crewed
Did I get it?
Yeah
