Intro: G X4 bars
(G) I was a rebel from the day I left school
(G) I grew my hair long and broke all the rules
(C) I'd sit and listen to my records all day
(D) With big ambitions of when I could play
(G) My parents taught me what life is about
(G) So I grew up the type they warned me about
(C) They said my friends were just an unruly mob
(D) And I should (NC) get a haircut and get a real job
(G) Get a haircut and get a real job
(G) Clean your act up and don't be a slob
(C) Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you, (D) get a haircut and get a real (G) job
I even tried that 9 to 5 scene
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play
Now I party all night and I sleep all day
I met this chick, she was my number 1 fan
She took me home to meet her mommy and dad
They took one look at me and said "Oh, my god"
Get a haircut and get a real job
CHORUS (G) Get a real job (4x) Why don't you
I hit the big time with my rock-n-roll band
The future's brighter now then I'd ever planned
I'm 10 times richer than my big brother Bob
He's got a haircut and he's got a real job
CHORUS Get a real job (4x) Why don't you
