my mom told me to get a job
work with my neighbor bob
why can't i get some sympathy?
don't yell at me
i'm almost 18 and not to mention
i'm so poor i can't afford to pay attention
what can i say?
we don't get paid

we're just like you and we're never gonna make it
we're too dumb to be rich and famous
record companies don't even wanna claim us
we suck (yeah!)
but who can blame us?
