talking heads - found a job (alternate version) [2025 remaster] lyrics

[intro]
one, two, three, and…

[verse 1]
“d+mn 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”

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
their show gets real high ratings, they think they have a hit
there might even be a spin+off, but they’re not sure about that
if they ever watch tv again, it’d be too soon for them
bob never yells about the picture now, he’s having too much fun
[chorus]
judy’s in the bedroom, inventing situations
bob is on the street today, he’s 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

[verse 4]
so think about this little scene, apply it to your life
if your work isn’t what you love, then something isn’t right
just think of bob and judy, they’re happy as can be
inventing situations, putting them on tv

[chorus]
judy’s in the bedroom, inventing situations
bob is on the street today, he’s 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
okay

[instrumental outro]
