GD Tattoo #51 How to make your Day Job "Bearable"
Chris submitted this tattoo located on his left bicep. He says "every day I feel like I'm wearing a tie-dye shirt under my collar and tie." I can relate, as I'm sure many of us can.
Chris had the work done by Juan at Funhouse Tattoos In Vancouver BC.
Thanks Chris!
Many of you know the rumor, "Keep Your Day Job" was removed from rotation by request of the fans. This post is deadicated to all of you hard working heads.
Keep Your Day Job
Maybe you collect or maybe you pay (whether)
Still got to work that eight hour day
Whether you like that job or not
You'd better keep it on ice while you're lining up your long shot
Which is to say, hey hey, keep your day job
Don't give it away, keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job 'till your night job pays.
Steady boys starting that eight day hour
Never underrate that paycheck power
By now you know that the face on your dollar
Got a thumb on its nose and a hand on your collar
With a chance to say, hey hey, keep your day job....
Daddy may drive a V-8 'Vette
Mama may bathe in champagne yet
God bless the child that's got his own stash
Nine to five and a place to crash
which is to say...
Sunday comes forget about work, Ring that bell for whatever it's worth.
If you ask me like I know you won't
I'll tell you what to do what I know that you won't.
Here's the last Day Job, interesting to note that it moves from an encore slot to close the first set for its final performance.
