Ken doesn’t have a job cause he’s a pussy
satirical indie rock, mid-tempo, jangly electric guitar, snarky deadpan vocals, upbeat drum shuffle
00:00 / 00:00
Lyrics
[Intro – twangy guitar riff, playful snare tap]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – laid-back strum, casual vocal delivery]
Ken’s still crashed on the couch at noon
Empty chip bags stack up to the moon
Says the world’s too tough for his delicate tune
Won’t even answer the phone’s ringin’ boom
[Pre-Chorus – rising guitar, building sarcasm]
He blames the weather, he blames his shoes
Says every job’s got too many rules
Scared to take a step, scared to choose
Hides behind his screen and his favorite blues
[Chorus – full band, catchy sneering hook]
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
Hides from every chance, every power
Won’t face the world, just cowers
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
[Verse 2 – bouncy bassline, eye-rolling lyricism]
Mama yells from the kitchen door
Says “get up, boy, you’re twenty-four”
Ken just mumbles, “just one more”
Scrolls his feed till his eyes get sore
[Pre-Chorus 2 – faster strum, heightened mockery]
He says he’s waiting for the perfect break
But he won’t even awake from his mistake
Too busy dreaming, too lazy to shake
The dust of his own sorry fake
[Chorus 2 – layered vocals, driving drums]
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
Runs from every test, every hour
Won’t lift a finger, just cowers
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
[Bridge – stripped-back guitar, deadpan spoken-sung]
He says he’s got big plans in his head
But they’re all just lies he’s been fed
Too scared to try, too scared to dread
The truth that he’s better off in bed
[Solo – distorted guitar, playful whammy bar]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus 3 – full band, chaotic energy]
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
Hides from every fight, every reward
Won’t grow up, just cowers
Ken don’t have a job ’cause he’s a coward
[Outro – fading guitar, final snare hit]
Ken’s still on the couch, same as before
Never gonna change, never gonna soar
