Found a Job (Alternate Version) (2025 Remaster) Songtext
von Talking Heads

Damn that television, what a bad picture
Don′t get upset, it's not a major disaster
There′s nothing on tonight, he said
I don't know what's the matter
Nothing′s ever on, she said
So I don′t know why you bother

We've heard this little scene
We′ve heard it many times
People fighting over little things
And wasting precious time

They might be better off, I think
The way it seems to me
Making up their own shows
Which might be better than TV


Judy's in the bedroom
Inventing situations
Bob is on the street today
Scouting up locations
They′ve enlisted all their family
They've enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again

Their show gets real high ratings
They think they have a hit
There might even be a spin-off
But they′re not sure 'bout that

If they ever watch TV again
It'd be too soon for them
Bob never yells about the picture now
He′s having too much fun

Judy′s in the bedroom
Inventing situations
Bob is on the street today
Scouting up locations

They've enlisted all their family
They′ve enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again


So think about this little scene
Apply it to your life
If your work isn't what you love
Then something isn′t right

Just think of Bob and Judy
They're happy as can be
Inventing situations
Putting them on TV

Judy′s in the bedroom
Inventing situations
Bob is on the street today
He's having a vacation

They've enlisted all their family
They′ve enlisted all their friends
It helped save their relationship
And made it work again
Hit it!
