	Lyrics 1) When I was working, we'd really party out; We liked to dance, we liked to jump and shout. Me and some family and friends from up across the hill Knew how to live when there was money in the till. Then the boss came down to work one day, (he said) "Sorry boys and girls, we're moving away. We found a place where we can pay real low, South of the border down in Mexico." They said, "We gotta go; (they said) adios amigos !" 2) I looked everywhere, all around town; There wasn't a decent paying job to be found. I guess I could have been a burger-flipper somewhere; I'd have been better off if I was on welfare. My tank was empty and my tap was dry; It was enough to make a grown person cry. Even though I was available and able, The only thing that I could find was underneath the table. They even cut my TV cable - The only thing I had was... [Chorus] Unemployment and buddy it ain't funny; I need a job that'll pay me some money (4X) So we can live and party again. Me and my family and friends - we're gonna party again ! 3) Bill-collectors closing hard and fast; Uncle Sam and the IRS were right on my ass. The bankruptcy hounds boys were sniffing me out; The credit card companies had cut off the spout. I tried to have a party but no one had the time; They were too busy standing in all sorts of lines. It's tough to be social when your life has gone to pot; Hunger pains will make you have criminal thoughts, When you're a have-not; when the only thing you got (is) [Chorus] I need a job that pays a living wage and gets me off this idle stage; A job that get me out of debt So I can work and sweat and earn some money. I need a job that pays some money, uh, huh ! Words & Music by: C. Michael Stout
