Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alarm at four Smells like defeat Hug my pillow Like it’s hazard sheet Thermos coffee Tastes like burnt regret Climb in the cab Seat’s still warm and wet [Pre-Chorus] Boss says “family” Means “free overtime” Radio’s broken Just my thoughts and grime [Chorus] I drive a dump truck Dump truck Dump truck Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires Dreams in the back with the busted wires If you think your job is rough Try living in a dump truck love [Verse 2] Back it up slow Guy screams “FURTHER BACK” Wave me closer Right into the stack Seagulls circlin’ Like I’m fresh cuisine I’m one bad day From joining this machine [Pre-Chorus] Hard hat crooked Boots stuck in the ooze Company t-shirt Stained in every hue [Chorus] I drive a dump truck Dump truck Dump truck Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires Dreams in the back with the busted wires If you think your job is rough Try living in a dump truck love [Bridge] My friends post beaches I post brakes on fire (yeah) They chase horizons I chase expired diapers The paycheck lands Then disappears in gas All I’ve got left Is this orange safety vest (so fresh) [Chorus] I drive a dump truck Dump truck Dump truck Hauling everyone’s trash and my bad luck Twelve-ton tantrum on bald old tires Dreams in the back with the busted wires You hate your job? That’s fair enough But you don’t kiss landfills For a hundred bucks [Outro] Key off Sunset Smell won’t rinse away Set the alarm Do it all next day (oh yay)

Comedy country-rock with male vocals; twangy telecaster riffs over a mid-tempo stomp, fat bass and a loose backbeat. Verses deadpan and conversational, pre-chorus builds with gang handclaps, chorus explodes with shout-along hook and stacked harmonies. Brief half-time breakdown on the bridge, then big final chorus with ad-libbed gripes and extra crowd vocals.
