"We Want a Job" lyrics

"(We) Want A Job"
Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip...
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We want a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We need a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (Where are the jobs?)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
(ah) dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip
bum bum bum bum bum (We)
Want a job
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na

After working all our lives,
We are trying to survive
Without a job.
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na


We've been searching for 2 years,
Have exhausted all our Tiers,
Never thought we'd have to say...
"Where are the jobs?"
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We want a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We need a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (Where are the jobs?)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
(ah) dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip
bum bum bum bum bum (We)
Want a job
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na

And when I see the want ads,
I read them through and through.
But Congress has the nerve to say,
"99 weeks is enough for you!"
Then I turn the TV on,
Hear Glenn Beck come on,
Preaching and a crying,
Tell me that I'm lying 'bout a job
That I never could find.
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We want a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We need a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (Where are the jobs?)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
(ah) dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip
bum bum bum bum bum (We)
Want a job
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na

(sax solo)

Oh, Congress bailed out Wall Street,
And paid their bonus, too.
But the jobless just keep getting told,
"99 weeks is enough for you!"
Then we turn the TV on,
Hear Glenn Beck come on,
Preaching and a crying,
Tell us that we're lying 'bout a job
That we never could find.

Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We want a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (We need a job)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na, (Where are the jobs?)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
(ah) dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip
bum bum bum bum bum (We)
Want a job
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
Ba-boh... Ba-doo...
(fade out)
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
Ba-boh... Ba-doo...
Sha na na na, sha-na-na-na-na,
Ba-boh... Ba-doo...
