Changing Jobs
Cindy & Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going to work in the morning feeling tired
Too much work and too little play
Take this job; don't care if I get fired
There must be something wrong
I've been working at this job too long
I've got to get away
I've been thinking about changing jobs, changing jobs
Think about changing jobs, changing jobs
Dancing all night the disco
Going to work in the morning hurts my head
Getting forward to tie my shoe
Every day is hard to get out of bed
Want to party all night long
This night that bothers working out wrong
It's time for something new
Repeat Chorus
Oh, you know I feel so tired
Oh, you know I feel so tired
Got to get up, got to get up
Got to get up in the morning
Got to get up, got to get up
Got to get up in the morning
Got to get up, got to get up, got to get up
Seems like I can't take it anymore
Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up
Seems like I'm not tired anymore
There must be something wrong
I've been working at this job too long
I've got to get away
Repeat Chorus
Give me the night time
When I can swing, do my own thing
Well, I get home at 3 A.M
Got to get up at 6 A.M
The whole day turned out wrong
Me and the world just can't get along
But then the night time comes around
I'm by myself out on the town
Disco dancing and romancing
Where the spotlight shines on me
The lyrics of "Changing Jobs" by Cindy & Roy reflect the struggle of feeling trapped in a monotonous and exhausting work routine. The singer describes their experience of dancing all night at the disco, only to face the harsh reality of going to work the next morning feeling drained and unmotivated. The repetition of the line "Too much work and too little play" underscores the imbalance in their life, with work consuming their energy and leaving them yearning for a change.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the contemplation of changing jobs as a solution to break free from the cycle of exhaustion and dissatisfaction. The repetition of the phrase "Think about changing jobs" highlights the internal conflict and desire for a new beginning. The juxtaposition of the vibrant nightlife at the disco with the mundane routine of work symbolizes the contrast between joy and routine, prompting the singer to seek a different path.
The feeling of fatigue and disillusionment is palpable in the lyrics, as the singer expresses their struggle to muster the energy to face each day. The repetition of "Got to get up in the morning" conveys the sense of obligation and weariness that comes with the daily grind. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a longing for change, as the singer yearns for a break from the draining work routine that weighs them down.
The final verse captures a sense of liberation and escapism as the singer describes finding solace and joy in the nighttime. The imagery of dancing and romancing at the disco represents a form of release and self-expression, where the singer can temporarily escape the pressures of work and society. The song ultimately speaks to the universal desire for freedom, fulfillment, and a break from the constraints of routine, resonating with anyone who has felt the weight of an unfulfilling job and yearned for a fresh start.
