Found a Job (Live) (2023 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

So 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
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, hit it
