Pigeon John - I Lost My Job Again lyrics

1st Verse: Woke up in the morning with my manager yelling about Late rent and debt with the threat of her throwing me out I promise with a sweat bead hanging that I would pay As soon as I get a job so so I can stay She said I had 2 weeks and its coming up quickly bu*t naked in the kitchen looking through LA Weekly Searching in the Want Ads frantically So something similiar to fit my personality And then boom that's when I saw it A j**elry shop at Macy's I can birdwatch and make cash at the same place G Its was cool so I signed up Slanging Swatch watches to all the people lined up That's when they moved me to the Diamond Department And apllied preasure to sell a larger margian I tried my best but I always came up short A diamond ring saleman just wasn't my sport There was more preasure so I had to sale something Saw a girl in the front trying to decide want did she want I said "Girl you need a ring" started saleing that thing Got excited and straight forgot the bring The price tag to my face the ring was 3 grand And it was looking lovely on her pretty left hand She bought for half cause I thought the tag said so But I read it wrong noticed when she walked out the door I sang Chorus: Oh my God I lost my job again I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x) 2nd Verse: Walking home from Macy's had to dry my tears Cause I only had 1 week to pay the rent it was clear I had to get another gig quick asking at church "Is anyone hiring?" and it worked I got a job in downtown as a stock clerk Shelving and alphabetizing files like a doctor On a patient but my boss wasn't playing with time Brother wanted his files then now and future in line And you know I'm not good under preasure I act like Radio and Rain Man together Started messing up loosing important files and such And finding them too late when in a crutch My boss brought me his office for a little pep talk "John you can do it if you don't talk but walk" I said "That's right" but I knew I was wrong I was so scared and behind these throngs of files They could've been anywhere in the aisles Under the desks behind the printers in piles And it way past due I turned my files in last Not good enough I felt my job just pa** And then I sang Chorus: Oh my God I lost my job again I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x) Outro: You're gonna be ok my little boy Just shake shake it off and go home (4x)
