THANKLESS JOB: AN UNPROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS

(Chorus) Repo Man! Repo Man!

(Nathan) It's a thankless job

Nathan expects to be thanked, holding himself as a lawman that keeps order on Sanitarium island

But somebody's got to do it Peelin' off the tissue, inch-by-inch; Skinnin' off the muscles, too! Harvesting the kidneys for the fall; Savin' up the livers in the fridge

This compares keeping literal organs in a fridge and ripping out kidneys to food and nourishment, being harvested and kept in a kitchen. This can lead to the thought that Nathan sees his career as a sick type of sustenance to keep his life in check. Like many characters in the film, when he enters his alternate 'Repo Man' persona, he himself is addicted.

No-one ever thanks me when I'm done How self-absorbed people can be!

Nathan expects to be thanked for his work, despite the fact that he is viewed as a symbol of fear and hatred. He also is shown to have gotten so numb to the point of barely understanding his impact, instead frustrated by the lack of gratitude he gets from both his boss and victims.

With a slice, or a snip Eenie-Meenie-Minie-Mo...

This is a children's rhyme, and coupled with Nathan's act of 'playing airplane' earlier in the song, it shows that in his Repo Man mindset, he is completely unstable and unable to think straight whatsoever.

With a cut, and a stitch Returning organs good as new!

It's a thankless job! But somebody's got to do it! Like a mop! And a broom! No-one wants a thankless job!

At the end of the song, Nathan loses his smile and his expression falls as he recognizes his actions. This similar to when the helmet is tossed onto his desk, sort of a repeating loss of innocence trope where he is forces to repeat the process of unconscious action and then discovering exactly what he's done.

I don't give a shit, I can just portal to other dimensions. Fuck both of you.

Okay, Me and Z talked to my Rick..

So uh.. I’m together with Z and my Rick now! Although, my Rick did uh.. almost beat the shit out of Z first.. I got him to calm down! This is one of the first times I’ve dated two people at once, if anyone has any tips on that, I would appreciate that!

My Rick is still a bit jealous, and is staying really close to me. So is Z… Uh.. Let’s hope they don’t beat the shit out of each other. i won’t hesitate to beat the fuck out of them.

This makes me so happy. I love them so much.
