Bills and Beats

[Intro] [x2] Woke up with a melody in my head But my boss man's got a different plan instead [Verse 1] I woke up with a melody in my head But my boss man's got a different plan instead I'm stuck here at my desk, feeling so oppressed My creative juices are being repressed I dream of synthesizers and drum machines too But my day job's got me saying "boo" I'm trading in my mic for a 9 to 5 grind (grindddddd) My passion's on the backburner, it's hard to unwind I'm just trying to make ends meet, pay the rent on time (On time) But my heart is screaming "let me make music that's mine" (Yeahhh) (Let me make music that's mine) [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the irony, it's a crying shame My dream's on hold, but the bills still got my name (forget my name) (Ahhh) [Chorus] Work, work, work, it's a never-ending fight But tonight, I'll make music in my sleep, it feels like flight I'll dream of drumbeats and basslines too And hope that someday, my passion will shine through (Uh uh Uhhhh) (Ooo) (Will shine throughhhhhhhh!) [Verse 2] My keyboard's calling me, but I can't answer the phone [Beep] I'm stuck in meetings, feeling like a clone I'm just trying to make a living, but it's a crime My creativity's sliding, one Presentation slide at a time (One slide at a timeeee!) My mind is wandering, thinking of a sick beat But my boss is talking, and I can't repeat (Uh Uh Uh Uhhhhhhhhhhh) I'm just trying to survive, but it's hard to thrive When your passion's on the side, and your job is alive I'm just trying to make it through the day So I can make music, in a major way [Hook] Maybe someday, I'll make music my way (My wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!) (Ooo) [Pre-Chorus] [Indie Pop] [Funk] [Vocal Harmonies] Oh, the irony, it's a crying shame My dream's on hold, but the bills still got my name (forget my name) (Ahhh) [Final Chorus] Work, work, work, it's a never-ending fight But tonight, I'll make music in my sleep, it feels like flight (Uh uh Uhhhh) I'll dream of drumbeats and basslines too And hope that someday, my passion will shine through (Uh uh Uhhhh) (Ooo) (Will shine throughhhhhhhh!) [Hook] So I'll keep on dreaming, and singing in the shower And maybe someday, my music will be the power (Ahhh) (Singing in the showerrrrrr)
