[Refrain: Chris & Jaws]
If you're tired of working, and your boss is a prick
Then say f** this man, I'm calling in sick
If you've had enough and you just wanna quit
Then say f** this man, I'm calling in sick
If you're tired of working and your boss is a prick
Then say f** this man, I'm calling in sick
If you've had enough and you just wanna quit
Then say f** this man, I'm calling in sick
[Verse 1: Chris]
Yo
There's no perks of the job when you work in my office
Got to learn to be bothered 'bout their shirts and their profits
It hurts to be honest, I'd choose to be in bed
But this tie tied tight feels like a noose around my neck
I'm used to being in debt, working jobs at low pay
It's okay, I like wearing brands with no names
My plans have no aims, jams are homemade
Christmas is cancelled, there's no Santa - no way
Unless I wanna make twenty drinks for the troops
I gotta stir my tea without clinking the spoon
Written the sick in the move, I'm not thinking of you
I don't care if you're thirsty I've got things to do
I've gotta sit here and look like I'm working hard
I'm hardly working its working it's a work of art
Let's face it, I'm never gunna make G's
I sit here staring into space with my day dreams
[Hook: Chris & Jaws]
Don't wanna go back to my day job
Cos the wages are whack so I ain't coming back
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I just mong at my phone and its long getting home
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I don't even pay tax, I just wanna make tracks
Don't wanna go back to my day job
[Verse 2: Jaws]
Yo
I really can't be bothered to get out my bed today
I'd rather skive - but I did that sh** yesterday
And if I decide - to do that sh** yet again
Then I ain't gettin' paid and I'm never gonna get a raise
Ha
But what I'm talking ‘bout anyway?
Ain't got a real job I do a different job every day
Anything from window cleaning, to decorating
Reppin' up the baiting - I do anything to get the papes in
Like a circus elephant working for peanuts
Sometimes I get nothing like I didn't get the pre-nup
I'm always hard-up, you'll never see me in a Starbucks
Or even with a jar in a pub propping the bar up
Yeah - Cos I rarely can afford it
Next week I got a job helping a mate fitting flooring
But I don't know a damn thing about laminate
But he'll pay a couple hundred so I think I'll have a stab at it
[Hook: Chris & Jaws]
Don't wanna go back to my day job
Cos the wages are whack so I ain't coming back
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I just mong at my phone and its long getting home
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I don't even pay tax, I just wanna make tracks
Don't wanna go back to my day job
[Verse 3: Chris & Jaws]
Yo
The only ever time that anyone is any fun
Is wacky tacky ties and the third Friday of every month
Why can't I ever have a joke or jest?
Why's lunch at its best just a sandwich at my desk?
Why are people in a state if I'm ten minutes late
From my dinner I'm a sinner walking at a Zimmer rate
My cigarette breaks are getting timed by the boss
I think its definitely time for me to find another job
I much prefer when I'm doing rap workshops
In the studio with kids hoping that the learn lots
Teach 'em how to make beats, how to write raps
Hit record and we f**ing up a nice track
Kick - Snare - Kicks and high-hat
Sk**ed in the trade of that old boom bap
But you knew that - yeah shout out to Tribe
My quest is to find the kind of job that I like
[Hook: Chris & Jaws]
Don't wanna go back to my day job
Cos the wages are whack so I ain't coming back
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I just mong at my phone and its long getting home
Don't wanna go back to my day job
I don't even pay tax, I just wanna make tracks
Don't wanna go back to my day job
[Refrain: Chris & Jaws]
