about

They told me to pivot
Recorded Dec 2, 2020

lyrics

gonna get me a job in a dairy queen
Here's the scoop: free ice cream
I got nothing

maybe get me a job in a cemetery
They give a free plaque to the employees they bury
I got nothing

maybe get me a job at a high end florist
they need more fiddle on the flowers of the forest
I got nothing

maybe get me a job in an artist's collective
They'll be forced to admire my unforced perspective
I got nothing

maybe get me a job in those Beverly Hills
I've got uncredentialled personal skills
I got nothing

maybe get me a job down at city hall
I'm as good as the next man at dropping the ball
I got nothing

maybe get me a job that comes with a laugh
They can't call them Whole Foods if I cut them in half
I got nothing

maybe get me a job at the end of the world
Gotta be this high to ride the tilt-a-whirl
I got nothing

I got me a job cause they told me to pivot
I'm the caddy replacing a billionaire's divot
I got nothing
