Job-Just Over Broke

Get a job, Get a job, Get a job
Well, I have two and need a third
Went to college and got the same jobs that I could of gotten out of high school
Student loan shark wants his money
Rent man wants his money
Grocery man wants his money
If I pay student loan shark , my rent and food will suffer
So, try to dodge student loan shark awhile longer
$7.25 minimum wage.
This meat in the store is over $7.25 a pound
Guess Ramon noodles will be my dinner companion
Work, work, work
Working has kept me just over broke
