lyrics

C H O R U S
Quit your job
Play hooky
Join the unhooked generation
Quit your job, quit your job, quit your job
Stay home
Quit your job
You’ll love it
Make up your own occupation
Use your knob
Quit your job
’Cause you’re above it

A very many people
gonna try to make a living on a nine-to-five
They’re typing up or sorting out
Or logging on or answering the phone
They’re calibrating, packaging, delivering
Or working on assembly lines
A very many people who would rather sing and dance
Don’t sing and dance,
Just listen

A very many people
Gonna try to make a profit off of your mistake
Or argue for a point they don’t believe in
Just to drive a bargain home
Or teach their children how to make believe
It makes more sense to make a deal than rob
A very many people
Who just want to get a better job or any job

CHORUS

A homeless guy on the subway
Asking for money
Someone said under his breath
“Get a job”
But he gave him money anyway
Now I don’t work for a living
I sit around an office reading
And I don’t know about him
And I don’t know about him

CHORUS

L A S T C H O R U S
Quit your job,
Play hooky
Join the unhooked generation
Quit your job, quit your job, quit your job
Stay home
Quit your job
You’ll love it
Make up your own occupation
Use your knob
Quit your job
And shove it
