Real Job

Walking up and down the block, I sing a new song Keep it to myself, I try not to reveal it all Ask around for work, I don't wanna be involved With another work place I call a dead-end job Looking for a band besides my own flesh 'n blood Gonna make a record once I find the studio Don't have the money, I don't have the resource That's when I'm told "I gotta get a real job" I don't have the time for your real job I don't have the power to work your real job I don't have the mind for your real job Doing what I want is my real job I'm not being a fool if that's what you believe I'm only trying to make a living off a dream I'm not selling my soul to ride the mainstream I'm going underground to stay alive, see That's the trouble with our modern society Tripling the charges for our schools and project fees Music is a part of the whole human history We deserve to get paid just as equally I don't have the time for your real job I don't have the power to work your real job I don't have the mind for your real job Doing what I want is my real job I don't mind the fight for what I want I can get by with what I've got I don't have to try to prove my all I can live without scoring the goal Just keep an open mind I don't have the time for your real job I don't have the power to work your real job I don't have the mind for your real job Doing what I want is my real job I don't mind the fight for what I want I can get by with what I've got I don't have to try to prove my all I can live without scoring the goal Just keep an open mind
