Lyrics

Total Job

[Verse 1]

Sharp dressed servers where the upscale dine

A safe dial turned by a glove in the crimes of night

A nurse in an ambulance rides

He don't deserve it, the patient's right

[Chorus]

Career?

Serious?

There are times when I miss the appeal

[Verse 2]

Long black cars driven close to the lawn

Straight-legged slacks and the shine of the chauffeur's garb

The lawyer with an eloquent tongue

He sways the verdict, the jury is numb

[Chorus]

Career?

Serious?

There are times when I miss the appeal

[Outro]

Energy that pulls us toward it

To feel the total job

No economic success

To get the total job

Energy that pulls us toward it

To feel the total job

No economic success

To get the total job
