Today I'm gonna get myself a real job It's time to be a standard working man Oh, this music thing's been fun But I think that I am done Today I'm gonna get myself a real job I'm contemplating getting on the payroll No stress about what other people think No ticket sales, no critics Or Spotify statistics Today I'm gonna get myself a real job Now my insecurity Got the best part of me I'm gonna quit guitar and get a real job Today I'm gonna get myself a real job (He might just get a real job) In the family business making food (Making food at Wong's) I poured my heart out in these songs Now it's time to cook at Wong's I think someday I might just get a real job I spent half of my life in a bus or on a flight I'm getting off the road and in a real job Now my friends have always said This is all just in your head Now get out of your bed (this is your) Don't read the comment threads (this is your) Go write a song instead This is your real job I was never made to have a real job This passion's burned inside since I was twelve Now I may not be the best But I know that I can rest Knowing today that I don't ever need a real job
