lyrics

You resisted opportunity to drink and play was always your plan
When you were young you told your mother you were going to play guitar in a band
But now you're getting older and the drinking ain't as fun as before
All those song and all those gigs you thought would soon pay off and open the doors

So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can
So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can

You trade your soul to work in management to maybe get a home of your own
You start to move on up the ladder because you numbers they are setting the tone
You're getting smug you think you're loved you say the girls at work all think you the shit
You got the job, the praise, the balance with some time to spare to start getting fit

But the mornings getting harder and you're questioning is this really it
All your progress takes a turn and all your dreams are just to simply fit in
All your dreaming wasn't noticed but the dreams the fuel thats feeding your soul
without some wishin' its a mission and admission has now taken its toll

So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can
With all your passion gone
All the hatred sinks in
With your white picket fence it just makes no sense
Life is slowly passing you by
So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can

So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can
With all your passion gone
All the hatred sinks in
With your white picket fence it just makes no sense
Life is slowly passing you by
So you got a job
Now work as hard as you can

(inaudible growling)
