"Working This Job"

"Working this job is a kick in the pants
Working this job is like a knife in the back
It ain't getting me further than the dump I live in
It ain't getting me further than my next paycheck"
This F*****g Job
The Drive-by Truckers

This talks about the life of someone scraping by on minimum to near-minimum wage. The way things work nowadays, it's nearly impossible for someone who doesn't have a positiion handed to them on a silver platter to get anywhere in the dog-eat-dog job market. Due to this, people are stuck living paycheck to paycheck while they're tied to loans that the banks shouldn't have given them in the first place for things they didn't need to begin with. It's a sad fact when people who work forty hours a week at the local Wal-Mart or McDonalds are allowed to get loans or credit for big screen TV's or brand new cars while they have hungry mouths to feed at home.
