Day Jobs Lyrics

This helps us pay our bills
It's not very big on thrills
Not a metal life
But it's big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we're nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big

Wake Up
Apply my makeup and get dressed
Put on my pants and get psyched up
Head out the door and I'm at work
Helping old ladies just squeeze in
Into a dress that is too small
Listen to a boss that's just dumb
Try to explain to me base things
I'm just not some stupid air head

I just want a mic in my hand
Headbanging, screaming with all my band
Style just tries to take it all from me
Fashion is just so much fun can't you see

This helps us pay our bills
It's not very big on thrills
Not a stylish life
But it's big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we're nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big

Wake Up
Stumble on into the kitchen
Clean all my guns with the safety's off
Dress up in all of my camo
Get in my truck and I start to drive
Adjusting my CB I listen in
Make sure I've still got my trailer
Start to drift off and I fall asleep
Wake back up in a stunned daze

I just want to have my guitar in my hands
Play those heavy riffs for my awesome metal band
The redneck life takes a lot outta me
Maybe I should go back and get a degree

This helps us pay our bills
It's not very big on thrills
Not a redneck life
But it's big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we're nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big

Wake Up
Check the fridge for pizza
Wash out all of the party
Throw on my smock and I'm at work
Flipping those patties like SpongeBob
Trying too hard to be funny
I'm only here cause I need money
Disco ball on my key ring
Cause bringing the party is all me

I just want to party through the night
If there's pizza you can bet I'll get a bite
Only need this job to makes ends meet
Wish there was some kind of life cheat

This helps us pay our bills
It's not very big on thrills
Not a party life
But it's big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we're nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big

Wake Up
Roll outta bed around high noon
Parents be wiggin' like, hey now
School doesn't start until midday
Lay on the couch like a beach bum
Go online for all my classes
Gotta work for that big degree
Why's school gotta be so lame
It's always gonna be the same

We suffer for you
We know you suffer too
Our day jobs bring us pain
Our fans help bring us fame

Are we gonna make it big
