Today I'm Gonna Get Myself A Real Job

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
