Hire me! (feat. Kasane Teto)

Hey, what is this? Is this long awaited bliss?
I've been sending out these emails just for them to get dismissed
Finally a company has noticed me, so I won't live in poverty
So I get up to cheer and even scream
I might then achieve my corporate dream

Hire me
I swear that you found just the perfect guy
'Cause I'm sitting here in suit and tie
And yes, I know, I may not have much experience
And I know that one year gap might sound mysterious
You just need to give me a single chance
I'm a great colleague, I'm telling you it in advance
I may not have a degree, but please, just hire me

Oh, well, I guess that just wasn't meant to be
I read in my horoscope that it was destiny
Even McDonald's somehow managed to deny my ass
It's time to take a sip from my wine glass
Because I'm gonna sob
I need a job

Hire me
I swear that you found just the perfect guy
'Cause I'm sitting here in suit and tie
And yes, I know, I may not have much experience
And I know that one year gap might sound mysterious
You just need to give me a single chance
I'm a great colleague, I'm telling you it in advance
I may not have a degree, but please, just hire me

Why do I try?
Why can't I seem to land a job?
I'm broke, I smoke, I'm soaked in my own tears
Oh please, won't you look at my CV?
For me?
Sigh, I'll never find a job like this

Hire me
I swear that you found just the perfect guy
'Cause I'm sitting here in suit and tie
And yes, I know, I may not have much experience
And I know that one year gap might sound mysterious
You just need to give me a single chance
I'm a great colleague, I'm telling you it in advance
I may not have a degree, but please, just hire me!
