Friday Breakfast Blend presents:

What a Way to Make a Living

Working nine to five . . . I just got a new job. In celebration I brought alot of songs about working, jobs, and bosses. It turns out they’re mostly about hating your job, quitting your job, or being unhappily unemployed. Musicians and employment. Anyway.
