Emerson Brophy - Day Job
I don't wanna work my day job
But i got bills i gotta pay off
It may not be good manners
But i don't wanna be staring at a screen
Pretending that it matters at my day job
But my retirement is still a way off
I'm afraid of what it's made me
I'm stressed out
Somebody tell me how i'm supposed to get out
(sigh)
★ verse 1 ★
This white collar is a little too tight
I'm struggling to breathe and all i see
Is squares of white blue ligth
I might not make it in tomorrow
Sorry for the fake deadlines that i broke
Hey, middle manager
I sold you my best years and my posture
To be one more body making your wheel spin
So nine to five i'm only thinking one thing
★ chorus ★
I don't wanna work my day job
But i got bills i gotta pay off
It may not be good manners
But i don't wanna be staring at a screen
Pretending that it matters at my day job
But my retirement is still a way off
I'm afraid of what it's made me
I'm stressed out
Somebody tell me how i'm supposed to get out
★ verse 2 ★
I should feel lucky that i got one
Unemployment is a real problem
I should say for something, i don't know yet
Real estate never got me going
I should climb the ladder that i wanna be on
And stop complaining that i'm just a corporate peon
To be honest
It's someone else's dream
But it ain't me, and that's alright
Yeah, it's okay
But is it to much to ask to not feel
Like i'm wasting away
★ chorus ★
Whenever i'm working at my day job (at my day job)
But i got bills i gotta pay off (at my day job)
It may not be good manners (at my day job)
But i don't wanna be staring at a screen (at my day job)
Pretending that it matters at my day job (at my day job)
But my retirement is still a way off (at my day job)
I'm afraid of what it's made me (at my day job)
I'm stressed out (at my day job)
Somebody tell me how i'm supposed to get out
(day job, day job, day job)
★ bridge ★
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my day job
Day job, day job
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my, i don't wanna work my
I don't wanna work my day job
Day job, day job
★ outro ★
50 years from now what would i spend
To live today again
50 years from now will my savings account
Be worth what i'm missing now
Working at my day job
50 years from now what would i spend (i don't wanna work my)
To live today again (i don't wanna work my)
50 years from now will my savings account (i don't wanna work my day job)
Be worth what i'm missing now
Working at my day job
But i got bills i gotta pay off (i don't wanna work my)
It may not be good manners (i don't wanna work my)
But i don't wanna be (i don't wanna work my)
Staring at a screen (i don't wanna work my day job)
Pretending that it matters (i don't wanna work my)
At my day job (i don't wanna work my)
But my retirement is still a way off (i don't wanna work my)
I'm afraid of what it's made me (i don't wanna work my)
I'm stressed out (i don't wanna work my day job)
Somebody tell me how i'm supposed to get out
