Give Up Your Day Job Lyrics

Give Up Your Day Job lyrics

When I came out of my mother's womb
           They put a sticker on my head that said
           Roman-catholic-white-trash-piece-of-garbage isn't going
           anywhere
           I believed them for a while
           But then I started getting all these anti-messages from my
           psyche
           This is a message to all the youth of 1998
           Give up your day job
           and follow the grief trail home
           Follow the grief trail home
           If you're sixteen years old with final exams
           Society's got you by the balls
           You can learn that grown up stuff in your 40's if you want
           to
           Take no heed what teacher says
           They`re teaching you the garbage that I learned some years
           ago
           Children has society got you by the scruff of the neck
           Have they got you all pumped up on prozac
           Has the government got you thinking that they really care
           about you
           Have you stopped listening to your own inner voice
           by watching all that disaster TV
           Well I have a message for you, well I have a message for you
           amen
           Tune in, turn on and smash it all up, because nothing really
           matters
           Like you think it does anyway
