Story behind the song
A song about the frustration of hunting for a job
Lyrics
Out hunting money, out searching for green
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen
They're looking for a wizard who'll make them look good
They really want a robot to join with their dead wood
Mister make an offer I can't refuse 'cause I'm hungry and I need a job
Well a young man is no good, they have no 'sperience
Middle aged is worse yet, they just get so tense
The old guys want climb for our insurance
I'm sorry we're not hiring today
Well, it ain't too funny when your kids got no clothes
I won't lean on the government, they'll slip you the hose
I'm willing and able, the job looks like a breeze
Sorry buddy we were just sold to the Japanese
Well I dreamed the other night we had nowhere to live
Stayed in a cardboard box underneath a bridge
The rain and the sleet came a-pouring down
Then the sheriff came with deputies and ran us out of town
Looks like I'm stuck with the job-hunter blues
Mister make an offer I can't refuse, cause I'm hungry and I need a job
Oh, I'm hungry and I need a job
I'm hungry and I need a job
