Good Work

Lyrics

Graduation has come and gone
 Summers here and the party's on
 No scratch to spend, no ride to drive
 no way to kill my summertime
 The coach from the school say he'll gimme a job
 If I mention his name they outta put me on
 yeah that's good work, if yous can get it
 and you best believe coach, I won't forget it
 as the rich kids steal the poor kids dance
 at the after party near the underpass
 Then a greasy little girl at the Liberty Lanes
 on break from the thirty minute oil change
 bought a can of pop, she took a sip and said
 "there's an after party at the dealership,
 tonight I'd like yah to meet me later,
 I'll bring the after party favours,
 and after that there's an after-after
 party-party we'll shake the rafters,
 make the coach a marter".
 Yah that's good work, if you can get it
 and you best believe coach, I won't forget it
 as the rich kids sing the poor kids song
 at the after party all night long
 At the bar in town, the coach just sits
 waitin for the party at the dealership
 the drunk ex-cheerleaders all come in
 and thier outta school now, so they're inta him
 the rich kids rave, the poor kids dance
 they gather out near the underpass,
 near the grain elevator, where the strip mall slammed
 in the school ball meeting where they just banned,
 Guns and prayers and knives and gangs
 and cut funding for the marching band
 And the puts, and the shots, and the vaccines for keepin coaches off the cheerleaders, keepin coaches off the cheerleaders.
 stretch your hamstrings on the floor,
 Yah that's good work, if you can get it
 and you best believe coach, I won't forget it
 as the rich kids steal the poor kids dance
 at the after party near the underpass
 I walked out lookin for the coaches job
 To the human resource office of
 the (?)grace seven porner(?), where it was clear
 that the coach didn't do me no favors there
 rang the bell on the counter, and I heard her tonen
 and this rich came creepin out thru the hole
 of the plexiglass and started sayin'
 "the likes of you don't work these jobs,
 whatcha doin down here my man"?
 lookin for work, if I can get it,
 if yah put me on, you won't regret it
 and no one here knows
 more than me would get it
 as the rich kids sing the poor kids song
 at the after party all night long
 yeah the rich kids steal the poor kids dance
 at the after party near the underpass
 yeah the rich kids steal the poor kids song, summers here and the partys on
 graduation has come and gone
 Summers here and the party's on
 No scratch to spend, no ride to drive
 no way to kill this summertime
