This is my first job
I smell like a burger
The register is easy
Hey, you wanna burger?
I hit the picture of the burger
Every day, the same old thing
Hello? Chicken nugget? Quarter pounder
And I wait for that phone to ring, that phone to ring
The phone at the end of the counter
When I see the manager writing down an order
When I see the manager making change
When I see the manager writing an address, I whisper "Yes!"
Give me some change, and send me on my way, O-kay
I'm off on a delivery
And I'm finally on my own
(Off on a delivery)
Delivery, peace
And I'm heading to parts unknown
(Off on a delivery, delivery)
Fresh air and exercise
And sometimes I'll throw in some extra fries
For calling it in today, my world is grey
Until they send me away on a delivery
Now the wind is in my hair
(Off on a delivery)
No one's watching me
I can wander anywhere
But the food is getting cold
And so I'll do as I am told, responsibility
I have responsibilities
See, my father sits at home, he doesn't work anymore
While my mother works a double-shift at the department store
And it's nice not having to ask for money
And it's nice not having to ask for dinner
And it's nice on nights when you have to get away
I go to work every day
I'm putting money away
Hey, you know what hey say
Slow and steady
I'm making minimum wage
That's pretty good for my age
If I can manage to save
I'll be ready to go
Wherever I gotta go
Wherever destiny leads me
For now the restaurant feeds me
And my family needs me
Delivery
The customer is always right
(Where's my delivery, my delivery?)
Thanks for getting me out of the house tonight
(Where's my delivery?)
I keep the orders straight
And I say "Sorry" if I'm late
(You're late!)
Some extra napkins for your plate
For making you wait
That'll be $12.98
For your delivery!
I can wander out of range
(Here's my delivery, my delivery)
Towards a future new and strange
(Here's my delivery, delivery)
This job is just a start
But wait!
I haven't told you my favourite part
It's when they pay
And then they say
"Fuck it, keep the change"
Keep the change (Keep the change)
Keep the change (Keep the change)
Keep the change (Hey, kid, keep the change)
And bit by bit I keep the change
(Delivery, Delivery, Delivery, Delivery)
Hey!
If I save a little every day
(Delivery, Delivery, Delivery, Delivery)
Woo!
This job's gonna deliver me far away
(Delivery, Delivery, Delivery, Delivery)
Aha!
And I'll look back on this and say
Thank god for delivery
