Don't Quit Your Day Job Lyrics

I was a sculptor in the night

Whenever I'd speak they would not listen

And every time I gave my might

They couldn't believe in my ambition

So then one day I went to see

What the judge would think of me

He said

"Don't quit your day job"

He said that to me

I said "You better not cry when you see me succeed

Because I'll keep on going and soon I will be

Better than before I met you"

A couple of years begin to pass

I found my path to keep on moving

Just like a raven in the dark

Nobody sees how far I'm soaring

No one really knows my path

So they'll just simply point and laugh

And say

"Don't quit your day job"

They'll say that to me

I'll say "You better not cry when you see me succeed

Cause I'll keep on trying and I'll eventually be

Better than before I met you"

Tall poppy syndrome always cuts me down

So I will keep trying to claim that crown

Tall poppy syndrome always cuts me down

So I will keep trying to claim that crown

Tall poppy syndrome always cuts me down

So I will keep trying to claim that crown

Tall poppy syndrome always cuts me down

So I will keep trying to claim that crown

"Don't quit your day job"

They might say that to you

But just remember this now

Because this here is true

If you keep on trying I promise you'll be

Better than before I met you
