Give Up On Your Dreams of Becoming a Baker Lyrics by Brian David Gilbert

Songs I Don’t Like to Speak About

2017

Give up on your dreams of becomin' a baker
You gotta give up on your dreams
I got a cool roommate who loves to bake
Wants to make it his job, but that's a big mistake
Startin' a bakery? How much could that take?
But it's way harder than it seems
A physics doctor is a thing to be
Academia and knowledge bring security
Go to MIT, get your PhD
'Cause it's time to give up on your dreams
Got a sourdough starter inside of a jar
But startin' sourdough's not gettin' you far
And this yeasty concoction is a little bizarre
So I think you're goin' to extremes
Why not get yourself a lucrative position?
Become a teacher or mathematician?
Not that I think you lack the ambition
Be like me; give up on your dreams
I used to think that I wanted to write
But that kind of thinkin' made money quite tight
You can't pay rent while seeking the limelight
So why keep seeking those beams?
I'd love to make videos and joke around
But instead I got a corporate job downtown
And I edit copy for a living now
So just give up on your dreams
You've been baking bread all through the night
Made a loaf of wheat, you made a loaf of white
And since you insist, I'll take a bite
But I don't think it's in-
[Spoken]
Oh my Jesus God
