Unpaid Intern Lyrics

Who needs a coffee? 'Cause I'm doing a run
I'm writing down the orders now for everyone
The coffee is free, just like me
I'm an unpaid intern

Sorting papers, runnin' around (runnin' around)
Sitting in the meeting room, not making a sound (not a sound)
Barely people, somehow legal
Unpaid intern

You work all day, go back to your dorm
And since you can't afford a mortgage, you just torrent a porn
'Cause you're an intern (unpaid)

Wa-da-da-wap-wa-da

What is the Meaning of Unpaid Intern?

Ever felt like you're working hard but not getting the recognition (or paycheck) you deserve? This song dives into the frustrating reality of unpaid internships. Bo Burnham paints a picture of an intern’s life—running errands, sitting silently in meetings, and doing menial tasks—all without pay. The line “The coffee is free, just like me” highlights the irony and exploitation often faced by interns. It’s both a critique of how companies benefit from free labor and a nod to the struggles young people endure trying to break into their careers. The humor adds a layer of relatability for anyone who's been there. #InternLife #WorkStruggles
