Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of
someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pasttimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact That it makes us smile if it sounds dope
My friend reminded me of this song recently but I can’t help but want to share it- the lyrics really capture the message of; we’re fine working but we don’t want our whole life to be about work or being underpaid while working
