This is a Job by Ice Cutters (2026) | Song about a dead end job | R&B / Hip Hop / Blues & Soul Music #newmusic #newsong #newmusicrelease Lyrics: [Verse 1] You want me to start at a quarter to twelve And wash all the plates that you leave on the shelf I'll think of the money and not much else This is a job [Verse 2] You want me to serve on a table for three Remember to thank you, remember to please That man is still waiting for his cup of tea This is a job [Chorus] [full band intensity increases] In a couple of hours I will be free To fall in a coma upon my settee I'll cut through the bars, jump in the getaway car This is a job In a couple of hours my life will be saved I'll unslit my wrists for another day I'm blind by the sun for no work is fun This is a job This is a job [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] [guitar chords become more staccato] I'll pick up the rubbish that you leave on the floor I need to sit down because my feet are sore But there isn't a chair and my wages are poor This is a job [Verse 4] [bass guitar drives the rhythm] The sunlight evades me as I stand at the sink I'm really thirsty, hope they'll give me a drink This is a prison, did I really think This is a job [Chorus] [full band] In a couple of hours I will be free To fall in a coma upon my settee I'll cut through the bars, jump in the getaway car This is a job In a couple of hours my life will be saved I'll unslit my wrists for another day I'm blind by the sun for no work is fun This is a job This is a job [Outro] [repeated vocal hook] This is a job This is a job This is a job This is a job [final guitar chord rings out] Style: A swaggering blues-infused R&B groove with a laid-back hip-hop beat and deep pocket, Vintage 1970s soul production meets modern rhythmic attitude, Tight live drums layered with crisp programmed beats, warm electric bass, wah-wah funk guitar, Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond organ, clavinet accents, gritty blues guitar fills, and rich orchestral string and brass swells that punctuate key lyrics, Horn section delivers bold Stax/Motown-inspired riffs alongside cinematic soul flourishes, Verses feel sparse and conversational, allowing the vocal to deliver witty observations in a loose sung-spoken style with blues phrasing, confidence and dry humour, Choruses explode with bigger harmonies, sweeping strings, brass stabs and infectious groove, Dynamic build throughout, adding tambourine, handclaps and backing vocals, Mood: frustrated yet defiant, sarcastic, streetwise and soulful, The performance should ooze attitude, swagger and resilience, Warm analogue character, punchy low end
