Full Time Job
Manceau Lyrics

Why don't you get a full time job?
The singer is asking why the listener hasn't obtained a traditional career path.

You've been hearing this for years.
The listener has been told to get a full time job for an extended length of time.

Despite working like a dog.
Although the listener has put in a considerable amount of effort,

They'll never see it as a full time job.
the work they are doing is not recognized as a legitimate job.

Why don't you tell those bloody suckers.
The artist encourages the listener to confront those who doubt them,

You were the handsomest guy ever?
even though the listener may have been successful in a non-traditional field.

With your bright pink orange skin on the screen.
The listener's appearance would still be viewed negatively if they were to appear in public eye.

They'd still see you as a robber.
Others would continue to believe that the listener obtained their success through dishonest means.

Get down on the floor.
The artist tells the listener to humble themselves in order to make others feel better.

Oh you make them feel much better.
The listener's actions comfort those who doubt them or their abilities.

They will ask for more.
Despite their efforts, those who doubt the listener will continue to demand more of them.

Even if it won't last forever.
The listener's success may be temporary, regardless of how hard they work.

Your knees to the floor.
The singer tells the listener to continue humbling themselves in order to succeed in a non-traditional field.

Guess now who's the winner?
Ultimately, the listener is triumphant despite not having a full-time job.

This is the time.
The present moment is significant.

We're outta sight.
The artist and listener are not subject to society's norms or expectations.

The story ends.
The narrative has come to a close.

You can leave all your troubles behind.
The listener is free from societal constraints and can embrace their non-traditional path.
