[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna quit my job and get fucked up
I tried a nine-to-five and I made five bucks
I might as well just take the whole year off
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
[Verse 1]
I wonder where I've been
All my life, I started at the end
Waitin' tables, waitin' for something to change
But I can't do this shit again
[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna quit my job and get fucked up
I tried a nine-to-five and I made five bucks
I might as well just take the whole year off
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
I'm gonna quit my job and try my luck
I bet my high school friends gonna hate my guts
When I leave this town and they all get stuck
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
[Verse 2]
Tell me that I'm stubborn, it's better than bein' crazy
They say, "Grab a couple shifts," I say, "Fuck you, you couldn't make me"
If I'm gonna sell my soul, then somebody better pay me
If I end up goin' broke, it's better than dyin' daily, yeah
[Bridge]
I, I break before I bend
And I won't do that shit again
[Chorus]
Think I'm gonna quit my job and get fucked up
I tried a nine-to-five and I made five bucks
I might as well just take the whole year off
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
I'm gonna quit my job and try my luck
I bet my high school friends gonna hate my guts
When I leave this town and they all get stuck
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
I'm gonna quit my job and get fucked up
I tried a nine-to-five and I made five bucks
I might as well just take the whole year off
I'd rather live my dreams 'cause real life sucks
[Outro]
