More money, more happiness
Put a smile on your face
Welcome to the race
Do your part with grace
Wow you sure like to write-
Put that away

Everybody has to work
Money doesn’t grow on trees
You can only dream so much
And afford to stay off the streets

Stay home and play?
What do you mean
Don’t call it work
If it’s not making money

Music’s not a job
Obviously
Don’t get distracted
Those things are just hobbies

I said that I can’t live
I said it’s oxygen
I said the sky’s falling
They said it’s in the way

I said that I can’t breathe
I said that I can’t sleep
I said I need, I need
They said it’s in the way

They said it’s only play
They said it mustn’t stay
They said I’d be okay
As soon as I put it away

They said it’s a mistake
To put my trust and faith
In my skills, I’m a fake
So I should put it away

Kick a gift horse in the mouth
Waste all of their time
Leech off their food and their house
Because I don’t have a dime

But always play nice
Even if they never believe
At least the bed is warm
And the rent is so close to free

And if they never take me
Seriously
I’ll just keep on hearing
Them call my life a hobby

I said that I can’t live
I said it’s oxygen
I said the sky’s falling
They said it’s in the way

I said that I can’t breathe
I said that I can’t sleep
I said I need, I need
They said it’s in the way

They said it’s only play
They said it mustn’t stay
They said I’d be okay
As soon as I put it away

They said it’s a mistake
To put my trust and faith
In my skills, I’m a fake
So I should put it away

More happiness, more money
Yeah, one day I’d be
Standing on my own feet
Supported by my “hobbies”

So I don’t feel like arguing
With people who are too boring
To feel the rush that I do
When I get to look at you

I said that it’s my life
I said it’s oxygen
I swear that I won’t quit
Couldn’t if I wanted anyway

I said I need it to breathe
I said I need it to sleep
I said I need, I need, I need
Yeah, I’m tired too, okay

They said it’s only play
I’m sure it’s nice to live that way
But I’m not just okay
I’m a whirlwind and I slay

They said I made a mistake
But I think we turned out great
I know I was right to stay
Look at where I am today
