Dirty Job (revised)
(c) 2016 Geneva Griffin
Verse 1 We got trophies for tryin', Tho sometimes a team mate cringed, When we stepped out from the side lines, Knowin' everybody wins..
Verse 2 Then fresh from higher learnin', Schooled in just show up to class, Workin' eager and earnestly, For those soft knocks on the back..
Lift Thrown into the work force.. The truth hit us with the door..
Chorus No one goes for the gold, From the top of the totem pole.. Don't waste you're green energy, On rejection shock.... Or do a fraction of your best, Put your whole heart to the test.. To carve your way up, Starts with a dirty job
Bridge Still not a guarantee.. With that fine resume, Chance as good as any.. And great at team play.
Lift Now that we've found what it takes to win.. We're busy hammer and chisselin'..
Chorus No one goes for the gold, From the top of the totem pole.. Don't waste you're green energy, On rejection shock.... Or do a fraction of your best, Put your whole heart to the test.. To carve your way up, Starts with a dirty job
Ya gotta get down and dig deep, Get down and dirty, Start out doin' dirty work, To get what you want....

Although titles can not be copyrighted I personally would not want to compete with Steely Dan.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghcsrblhn7ATom

It's definitely a shock being in school one day and having to make a living the next.

Ya Jim,
And some of the kids "young adults" today think they're
"owed" a great job after finishing school and bein' educated
in "entitlement".

Thanks for the memory Tom,
Hadn't heard that in years and now that you brought I up,
Any other song with that title don't stand a chance, and this on is certainly no competiton.
I may work on it tho, change it up some so a title like maybe "diry job" would fi it!

It's difficult coming up with titles that haven't already been used as we know all too well. Certainly a shock for me leaving school at 15 and going to work 9 hours a day, the first 50 years were the worse. Good account Geneva Travis
