(Finished December 29th, 2023) Part 1 of The Best Songs About Jobs and Working

Hello,

How many of us have thought to tell our boss "to take this job and shove it"? How many of us feel like Brooks and Dunn "Hard Workin' Man" or Rush's "Working Man" are songs that we can really relate to. How many of us start working for the weekend as soon as the work week starts? I currently have a job that's not great, thank goodness we aren't stuck with shit jobs for decades.
