lyrics

Four years working as servers, while I went off to college
And my brother and I swore to never work in an office
Took one week with my degree for me to break that promise
The salary and benefits were temporary solace
(Too bad they let me go after I signed for an apartment)

When people first find out I’m a producer for two podcasts
They think it’s full-time while I’m putting the “free” in freelance
And sometimes when they learn that I’ve professionally made two albums
They’ll wonder if I’m big league when both albums made me bankrupt

I’m working to live, trying not to live for my work
And like Chandler Bing, no one can remember what I actually do
But I’m proud of my job, I’m holding on to what it’s worth
More than making ends meet, more than living for the weekend

Next month marks five, five and a half years
That’s more of my life than just about anything I’ve ever done
Except simply to survive
If we do some math, that’s nearly ten thousand hours
I could’ve become an expert in any one thing in the world
But I accept my path

I’m working to live, trying not to live for my work
And like Chandler Bing, no one can remember what I actually do
But I’m proud of my job, I’m holding on to what it’s worth
More than making ends meet, more than living for the weekend

I’m working to live, trying not to live for my work
And like Chandler Bing, no one can remember what I actually do
But I’m proud of my job, I’m holding on to what it’s worth
More than making ends meet, more than living for the weekend
