- Quota Lyrics / with translationsWorking this day job,
Just to get a paycheck,
Rent was due last week,
I haven't paid yet.
Driving this beat up hand-me-down,
That I can't afford to fix if it breaks down.
Living off ramen,
Girls no comment,
If you're feeling me, feel free to chime in,
Praying every night that it don't get worse,
I walked out of college and into a curse.
This phase won't last forever.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
Clocking in right at 8 AM,
Clocking out when I've lost all will to live.
I need to see a shrink but it costs too much,
Never thought a tax return would give me such a rush.
Sick of eating takeout,
Going on blind dates,
Wish I had friends instead I've got roommates.
Should I take another job to make ends meet,
Or should I call my parents and admit defeat.
This phase won't last forever.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
Just to get a paycheck,
Rent was due last week,
I haven't paid yet.
Driving this beat up hand-me-down,
That I can't afford to fix if it breaks down.
Living off ramen,
Girls no comment,
If you're feeling me, feel free to chime in,
Praying every night that it don't get worse,
I walked out of college and into a curse.
This phase won't last forever.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
Clocking in right at 8 AM,
Clocking out when I've lost all will to live.
I need to see a shrink but it costs too much,
Never thought a tax return would give me such a rush.
Going on blind dates,
Wish I had friends instead I've got roommates.
Should I take another job to make ends meet,
Or should I call my parents and admit defeat.
This phase won't last forever.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
I don't wanna live my life just to meet a Quota,
Taking everyone's orders,
Marching around like a corporate soldier.
I wanna live life like everyday is golden,
I'm gonna put my life on a hold up,
I'm gonna take it over, take it over, take it over.
