Dream Job Lyrics
[Intro]
(Shut up)
[Verse 1]
We get down to the sound of a singular mind
And we like criminals when criminals are treatin' us kind
For the subliminal freaks with their invisible style who can't smile
Boy, you're on trial
[Verse 2]
I place a bet on a game knowing no one will score
And break a sweat watching the greats dragging their feet on the floor
Is it ambitiously weak to be proficiently poor
And still smile when on trial?
But still—
[Chorus]
It's ace
Top
Mint
Boss (That's boss)
Class
Sweet
Deece
Not bad
[Verse 3]
So lay waste to your superiors to lighten the mood
Or kowtow to your inferiors for fear you'll look rude
If you don't, are your interiors as perfectly skewed as mine are?
Maybe I'll show you sometime
[Chorus]
But oh my God, it's ace
Just look at my face
Top, I'm on top of the world
Mint? Of course it is, boss
Why can't we travel in business class?
Pass the pop, because life is sweet
So neat, it can't be beat, it's deece
That means decent, not bad
It's alright, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Welcome to the future
The paranoia suits ya
And step into my office
All night long
It's ace, it's class
Top, let's move
Welcome to the future
The paranoia suits ya
(Mint) God knows what you're talking about
(Boss) But your eyes never lie when you look at me like that
Step into my office
All night long
(Class) Let me show you
(Sweet) How we do things
(Deece) Welcome to your dream job
(Not bad) I'm never gonna give it up
(Ace) God knows what you're talking about (Dream job)
(Top) God knows what you're talking about (All night long)
(Mint) Step into my office
(Boss) All night long

What did Yard Act say about "Dream Job"?
James Smith:
“Dream Job” feels like an apt introduction to the themes explored [in] Where’s My Utopia? — though not all-encompassing. In part, I was scrutinizing and mocking myself for being a moaning ungrateful little brat, whilst also trying to address how the music industry is this rather uncont...

What else have the artists said about the song?
“Dream Job” arrives midway through the narrative arc of the album, but it picks up where the band left off at the end of last year when I’d finally had time to contemplate everything that had happened to us. People always ask, “Oh, you’ve achieved all this – how does it feel?” But it’s hard to artic...
