Growing up, I never dreamed of clocking in and clocking out
I feel like I'm being paid to lose my mind
I'm getting older, feeling colder
Like my youth is almost over
And all my dreams are fading faster all the time
All my life I've waited
For a chance to chase this feeling
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
Your blonde hair, those blue eyes
Were as crystal as the ocean
And I knew it, I could see you by my side
When you walked in, it was over
I felt sober for the first time
When you took my hand, my dreams were open wide
All my life I was praying
For a chance to have this feeling
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
'Cause I only ever dreamed about this
With every test, I tried my best not to fail
But they always make me doubt it
Not this time, this one's mine, I'm not for sale
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
