about

The lyrics are about making time to pursue your dreams. During everyone's life, there are big and little things that can hold people back from achieving their goals.

The idea of the "job" is a metaphor for an unhealthy habit or situation. This song is about wanting people to start believing in and taking care of themselves. "Don't just waste your life away ... Time to give yourself a chance ... It's never too late for another push ... Leave behind your artifacts."

For the video, Brent asked Facebook friends to send him pet photos, and he received over 100 of them. In the video, the pets are on a Zoom-like teleconference giving the viewers support to quit their bad habits. The benefit of course for the pets is that they will be able to spend more time with the viewers once they have abandoned their unhealthy ways!

lyrics

You're not doing what you wanna do
I see the way they're looking at you
Don't just waste your life away
Better start making your escape
It's all mediocrity
They're not seeing who I see
Time to give yourself a chance
Life can be a new romance

Quit Your job

Ralph Phillips, a hero to me
Daydreaming all that he could be
It's never too late for another push
Are you waiting for a burning bush?
Look at all that you could do
Start The car, we're leaving soon.
Leave behind your artifacts
Get in the groove - that's where it's at
1 2 3 4
