Lyrics
I'm not high or in jail I don't need to make bail I'm not pregnant, I swear, I'm just glowing With excitement I can't keep from showing 'Cause it looks like I may have a job There's an opening slot For a permanent spot And they gave me a definite maybe Of course, everyone else is baby It's not grand but I won’t be a snob There's a chance There's a chance I’ll be finally using my skills I could make my own way But you’ll still pay my a***yst bills There's a chance There's a chance I might finally see something through And if I gеt this chance There’s a chancе you'll be proud of me too (spoken) It's in PR. Puerto Rico? No, dad, ugh. Public relations. Oh. Oh, honey, that's—that could be wonderful. I'd be in a good space I could get a nice place With a roommate or two if I need to And who knows what else it could lead to Once I get that job in my midst! Nicer clothes I could buy I could meet a nice guy One who isn't a cheat or a stealer Or gay, or my boss, or my dealer Man, my picker's sure been on the fritz! There's a chance There's a chance Though I know nothing's written in stone It may be that I am not fated to die Bitter, broke, and alone There's a chance There's a chance That my life could be happy somehow Had this stuff with the feds and my meds But I'm much better now What's it pay? Ha, there it is, you see? I'm leaving. Don’t leave. It's a normal question about a job. What does it pay? It pays ten cents a year, okay? That's what it pays. It pays ten cents a year. Okay, that’s something. It’s ten cents more than you made last year. Why, after I came back from my latest slip I managed to pick up my ninety day chip Do you put a price tag on what I’m worth? Now, here comes this chance for a job in my line It's nothing fancy but it would be mine You've ruined my first forty years on this earth That's all you’re allowed You don't get the pleasure of making me cry If you can't be proud Can’t you just lie? Lie There's a chance There's a ch—- Ugh, why am I wasting my breath? I'm spinning my wheels It's okay, no big deal Hey, it's just life or death There's a chance There's a chance I might finally see something through I'm not taking drugs And I'm not robbing banks And if I get this job By the seat of my spanx It'll be no thanks to you! Susie, stay! Not a chance!
