  • Are you working
    Hard, my darling?
    We're so worried
    Always thinking
    Of you and we
    Just want you to
    Be so happy
    Keep on going

    I don't want no 9 to 5
    Telling me that I'm alive
    And, "Man, you're doing well"

    I don't want no 9 to 5
    Telling me that I'm alive
    And, "Man, you're doing well"

    Have you got some
    Money saved up
    For those rainy days?
    You should start some
    Sort of trust fund
    Just in case you fail

    My friends play in bands
    They are better than
    Everything on radio
    My friends play in bands
    They are better than
    Everything on radio

    Did you see that
    Special on tv
    The other eve?

    No, my TV
    It stopped working
    When we got here
    (It's been four years)

    Are you eating?
    You sound so thin
    Are you eating?
    You sound so thin

    I don't know what I was thinking
    I should get a job
    I don't know what I was drinking
    I should get a dog

    Should get married
    Have some babies
    Watch the evening news
    Should get married
    Have some babies
    Watch the evening news Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
