I want a new Job

Did you ever wonder how a term or a statement got started? I sometimes wonder what people were thinking of when they uttered the statement for the first time. Whoever started the term "It Is What It Is"? I'm guessing that it might have been an athlete or politician that started it?

"Not for nothing?" What the heck does that mean?
"To tell you the truth..." Well I hope that you are telling me the truth.

Some statements are taken from songs and made into everyday language.
"Same as it ever was" - Talking Heads
"Baby I was Born To Run" - The Boss

One of my new favorites of an older song is Huey Lewis And The News' song 'I Want a New Job'. Oops I mean Drug. If you substitute the word Job wherever the word Drug is within the song, it still works!

I want a new Job!
One that does what it should
One that won't make me feel too bad
One that won't make me feel too good
I want a new Job!
One with no doubt
One that won't make me talk too much
Or make my face break out
One that won't make me nervous
Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel
Like I feel when I'm with you!
I want a new Job!
