"Why can't I find a job?" is a song by the American band The Offspring, released as a single from their fifth album Americana on March 30, 1999. This song criticizes the negative aspects of American life, especially the disposable and artificial culture promoted by the media.
Although "Americana" was a success in terms of sales and popularity, there was no shortage of Offspring fans in certain segments who were deeply disappointed by the album, considering it too commercial and "selling out" to the culture they often criticized. his album.
One of the songs that makes fans hate “America” the most is “Why Don't You Get a Job?” Was. The exciting and upbeat "Ska" is a song closely related to the concept of the album and represents all the people who work for no one for a day, spend money and live business fantasies such as installments, credits and loan losses. According to the song's singer-songwriter, Dexter Holland, "Why can't you get a job?" It is based on the rhythm of the song. "Cecilia", created by Simon and Garfunkel, is a song that mixes elements of "Ob-La-Dee, Ob-La-Da" by The Beatles. It's a sound closely related to the joy of the ska code, but it contrasts with lyrics that call attention to "lazy" people who live off other people's money.
If you look deeply into the lyrics of this song, you will see that it is about sarcastic lyrics about people who don't work, don't cut their hair, and live luxuriously. How can I make money from their bad behavior? Holland tells the story of a man and a woman who share the same story: unemployed and professionals in debt. Earning money easily in a consumer society is a relevant enterprise for our times. There are still people who face and live with many bank loans, many offers, many credit cards. They spend money like crazy but refuse to work to pay off their loans and live in debt until the system collapses.
The song was a huge hit worldwide, peaking at number 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It reached the top 10 of the charts in Switzerland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Austria and remains one of the group's most popular songs.
