Day Job Lyrics by The Mommyheads

Flying Suit

1994

You wanna be but it’s not easy
You wanna be without even trying
You tell me that living’s a good thing
Why do you tell me this when you’re falling down?
I wanna tell, tell you a good thing
I wanna tell you without even trying
You tell me that living’s a good thing
Why do you tell me this when you’re falling down?
You wanna believe in God
You wanna believe in love
But you don’t believe in anything
You don’t believe in me
You wanna quit your day job
You wanna just hang around
But when your alone that’s all there is
When you don’t believe in me
You wanna be someone important
You wanna be the president of a small country
Where the natives will feed you grapes
They’ll do the dishes and they’ll quietly walk away
Your fathers nervous, he called you collect
He wants to know how life is in college
If he knew of your neglect
And all the dishes stacked in the closet
You wanna believe in God
You wanna believe in love
But you don’t believe in anything
You don’t believe in me
You wanna quit your day job
You wanna just hang around
But when your alone that’s all there is
When you don’t believe in me
