[Lyric] Did You Get a Job? (The Mourning Sickness)

[Verse]
Well, I'm sitting there talking to my good friend Brian
He pulls up in this brand new car he bought over in Europe somewhere
He and his wife flew over and picked it up at the factory
You know, hey drove around the continent for weeks
And when they were "Finish"
They drove through the "Chunnel"
Put the thing in a box
And sailed home on the Queen Elizabeth II
So I said, "Hey, Brian
Why don't we go out and collect some aluminum cans
You know, like we used to do in the old days?
Get ourselves a beer?"
Brian looks at me and says, "I'll buy!" (Uh, I'll buy)
I said, "Brian! You're gonna buy?
Is there something wrong with you?
Did you get a job?"

[Chorus]
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a… job?
[Verse]
Well, I'm sitting there talking to my good friend Kevin
Yeah, he bought this brand new house way down South
It had a hundred and fifty-seven thousand rooms
So, I said, "Hey, Kevin
Why don't head down to the basement and
Bang away on those bongos
You know, like we used to do in the old days?"
Well, we get down there
And there are no bongos!
There's a brand new drum kit!
He slides on in behind, starts banging away
And it sounds like thunder
So I said, "Hey, Kevin
Where'd you get them drums?
Where'd you get this house?
Where'd you get all this stuff?"
I said, "Hey, Man… Did you get a job?"

[Chorus]
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a… job?

[Verse]
Well I'm sitting there talking to myself
And all my hair is cut
It's combed neatly and parted down to one side
And I reach into the closet and put on a brand new Armani suit
And I head down the stairs
Where the maid hands me a frothing mug of cappuccino
Several small creatures gather around and call me "daddy" (Call me!)
And as I shake them from my coattails, I make my way out to the garage
I slide behind the wheel of my rouge-beige BMW
And I look at my beautiful self in the vanity mirror
"Did you get a job?"
[Chorus]
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a…
