"Day Job" lyrics

"Day Job"

Well, we've been here once before
And we've stuck it out for more
When we come around, we'll settle down the cracks below the floor
Has it been eleven years
Since I've stood here with my peers?
And we started out to conquer doubt and Frisbee

I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job

You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times, it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home? 'Cause I forgot
If it is, then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other

I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job

Oh, no

You're not missing much for sure
Only everything that's yours
And at times, it fails and we're full sail in the gutter
Is this home? 'Cause I forgot
If it is, then thanks a lot
'Cause I can't pretend to know one end from the other

I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
I should've been a whole lot farther
I'm never going back to college
For just one good day job
A day job
A day job
A day job
