3. "Frankly Mr. Shankly" - The Smiths

Morrissey has bigger dreams, Mr. Shankly. The job he has in "Frankly, Mr. Shankly," released as part of the Queen is Dead LP in 1986, opens with the utterly relatable lines "Frankly, Mr. Shankly, this position I've held, it pays my way and it corrodes my soul."

I cannot believe there are that many songs talking about quitting a job, right? The two songs ranked at number 1 & 2 may be a better match in terms of lyrics but is not as inspired, musically.

I agree it should be #1.
I like 9-5ers anthem by Aesop Rock as well. [video]www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rkf5H7J-S0[/video]

I'm surprised there aren't more songs about quitting your job.
The worst one I'd ever heard of was from a crappy Tampa heavy metal band who had a songs like 'work slave' and 'love is an ocean of red'.
