lyrics
you interrupt
and we’ve had enough
you act just like an ass
you drag us away
make us play your game
make us do your tasks
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine
you make me a God
omnipotence feels odd
our rescue’s up to me
I spend my day
pretending I’m the same
but I've got a duty
so you can
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine
then I think about doing what is best
I could have saved a girl from certain death
I could make the world a better place
just by waving my hand in front of your face
I could make you, able to see
I could give you, a bride to be
I could make you old enough to employ
I could give feelings to the wooden boy
but you say “no"
you want to grow
you'd rather get there on your own
I have no need
for the powers that be
he knew I’d want to stay
it’s not the goal you see
it’s all about the journey
so we’ll be on our way
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine
and we’ve had enough
you act just like an ass
you drag us away
make us play your game
make us do your tasks
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine
you make me a God
omnipotence feels odd
our rescue’s up to me
I spend my day
pretending I’m the same
but I've got a duty
so you can
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine
then I think about doing what is best
I could have saved a girl from certain death
I could make the world a better place
just by waving my hand in front of your face
I could make you, able to see
I could give you, a bride to be
I could make you old enough to employ
I could give feelings to the wooden boy
but you say “no"
you want to grow
you'd rather get there on your own
I have no need
for the powers that be
he knew I’d want to stay
it’s not the goal you see
it’s all about the journey
so we’ll be on our way
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
take this job and shove it
where the sun don’t shine

Adam Sakellarides Los Angeles, California
A native southern-Californian, Adam started writing songs on an old guitar from the 70s that his parents won in a raffle. He sings about love, science, politics, socially awkward people, and things like that. Now armed with witty lyrics, catchy melodies, and a bunch of mediocre jokes, he's ready to entertain you. ... more
