lyrics

When I was a boy I thought I wanted to be
A fireman or pilot or to grace the movie screen
Everyday at school I sat and dreamed all day
The teacher told me that I'd throw my future away

So I focused on the pen and paper
And I wielded my inspiration
I completed all my math equations
And I studied through the night
Tried to make it right

I've got a desk job in my future
I never knew what I wanted to be
I've got a desk job in my future
I was training for it, can't you see?

From the early early morning to the final bell
You'd find me in the classroom learning how to spell
Every assignment that would come my way
I was driven for a sticker placed besides an A

With my 4.0 report card
And my extra curriculars
I sailed out to Harvard
And I studied through the night
Tried to make it right

I've got a desk job in my future
I always knew it subconsciously
I've got a desk job in my future
I've been training for it certainly

Lord, grant me a cubicle
And a boss who's unbearable
A water cooler to talk around
A paperweight to hold me down
A corded phone and some sticky notes
A coffee mug with a clever quote
Family photos in Kokomo
Photoshopped but no one knows

I should tell you Ivy League ain't got nothing on me
Communications major for my bachelor's degree
Running down a list of numbers paired with names
Hoping that I'll get a minute to explain

I've got a product for you
If you've got a lot to cut through
In seven easy payments
You could change your life
Buy a Ginsu knife

I've got a desk job in my future
I always knew what I wanted to be
I've got a desk job in my future
I was training for it, can't you see?
I've got a desk job in my future
Oh, the wonderous joy I'll bring
I've got a desk job in my future
I was born for telemarketing
