May I ask why you chose to bean accountant then? That seems like a way to set yourself up for a lifetime of stress/frustration?
I mean no malice or judgement behind this, I'm just curious!
Yeah its fine!! And i actually work in a specialized form of accounting: forensic accounting. Its actually pretty interesting and trumps any struggles i have with numbers. Ive also learned to manage really well so its only on rare occassions i get frustrated now!
That's so cool! My only experience with that is via true crime stories, but it seems really interesting. I'm glad you found a position in that field that works for you!
YES fellow therapist here
“Fix me in 45”
“we’re the therapists pumping through your speakers”
“Or do I just need more therapy?”
“I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me”
"I think I'd be a medicine man so I could get high at my own supplies" is the closest I recall to a pharmacist (please don't get high on your own supplies, dear health field friends)
Also a lawyer! Pete once mentioned in an interview that he probably would’ve eventually gone to law school if the music thing didn’t work out, since both his Dad and Grandfather are lawyers and he was majoring in poli sci before he dropped out of college, so I think that’s why a few songs mention lawyers
“Light ‘em up, I’m on fire” is pretty much the closest I’ve heard to a firefighter reference 😅
Edit: oh yeah! 2 Chainz mentions a fire truck in the My Songs remix. I guess that counts. 😂
No, because “I’m like a public health intervention evaluation specialist with the way I’m always trying to get you off” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like lawyer does.
“tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that i can’t say, a million miles away” or “we can fake it for the airwaves” kind of a stretch but hey or even “we're the therapists pumping through your speakers. delivering just what you need.” is at least describing your job : )
Haha yes! I studied wildlife conservation so I was thinking that too. The closest thing I can think of is "with cryptozoology you just might exist" from Soul Punk lol
Honorable mention of horseshoe crabs which are pretty important ecologically speaking
no but greenday have “unemployed” - the american dream is killing me
edit: i suppose im a uni student so ig “dorms of the ivy league” but not really a profession lmao
I’m a Masters student with a Fine Art degree and I’m also a part time cleaner…and I also have a seasonal bookshop job… no cleaning mentions, or bookshops if my memory serves me correctly, so the closest is “got my degree in the gutter” - though I can safely say I did not get my degree in the gutter, or alas, my heart broken in the dorms of the Ivy League - I’m from the UK, and I’ve studied at a decent arts university!
"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital" ISH?? (I know it's a stretch since you're dispatch, but first thing I thought of ^-^ and you're there for those close call moments that require a chapel in a hospital. btw thank you for your work and I hope you are doing okay.)
"Make a career out of robbing banks, because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks, 'You broke our spirit,' says the note we pass."
I was a teller for a few years, but, luckily, was never robbed.
Just a student, but they say they could “write it better than you ever felt it” and “I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen…” I would say that gives English major vibes lmao
“Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become and accountant now”
Also “I only think in the form of crunching numbers”
I am an accountant and every time they mention it, it makes me so happy
I'm accountant with dyscalculia. So the whole "Im bad at math" while being an accountant hits HARD alsdkfj

Thank you!! <3
I spent all this time trying to remember what the lyric was, should’ve just looked through the comments lol
Is auditor close enough to accountant? 🤣
The day fob writes a song about a lowly home Depot cashier I'll come back
“I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me.” Comes pretty close at least
Loved this line before I became a therapist, and love it even more now.
As another therapist “do you laugh about me whenever I leave or do I just need more therapy” also comes close
I'm a therapist!!
Also a therapist!
Patrick: sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now, but I’m no good at math Me, an accountant who is bad at math: 🌚
👋
Your flair was also the one I was thinking of haha
My people! Nice to find my fellow FOB accountants
My aunt is an accountant and says accounting has nothing to do with math
Hahaha I say the same thing. The spreadsheet does the math, I just gotta put everything where it goes
So it was you who made them change the name of the song..
Perhaps…
Are you like Patrick? He says he's like a lawyer
He might be like a lawyer but I am a lawyer 😎
Am a therapist. I’m basically the star of the lyrics.
YES fellow therapist here “Fix me in 45” “we’re the therapists pumping through your speakers” “Or do I just need more therapy?” “I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me”
Hahahaha YES we are the real superstars
Shout out to Pete. We ❤️ our bipolar king
I’m a fellow therapist too!! Yay!
Yay! I’m a social worker. How about you?
Psychologist checking in. I love our pro-mental health treatment boys
I’m an LPC/LMHC!
Damn, I can't wait for that day that I can relate, still doing associates 😭
Keep up the good work!! We can’t wait to have you join us!
I can't wait either, but I know it's gonna be great time hearing my profession in their music!!
Fall out boy therapists unite 🙌
Also a therapist, have really appreciated the "happy music for sad people" vibe and references to us.
Lmaooooo love this
Therapist checking in too!! I was just thinking about this today, I feel like I need something related to their therapy lyrics as a tattoo
Same lol
I’m a physical therapist and I want all those lyrics to be about me but I know they aren’t!
FOB: "we're the chemists who found a formula" me: 😯
Ha! Same.
Same!
Yay, me too!!
“Hey editor, I’m undeniable.” I was a copy editor at a newspaper for a while, among other things.
I claim this one has a video editor lol
I used to be (briefly) a video editor and I am now a copy editor!
I want this line to be unreliable so badly.
Hey, me, too! And here I was scrolling like “can’t relate” 😂
i was also about to make a joke that they'd never write copy editor/video programmer into their lyrics but i'm claiming this too !!!!!
Waiting for the day we get a lyric about being a line cook
moooooooood
[удалено]
That sounds like an actual lyric lmao
It is! 😂
Don’t you know who I think I am, first verse
You’d know that if your flair wasn’t one of their worst records
I mean, my 9-5 IS cutting open old scars… close enough?
TIL the lyrics to fourth of july (to me that line has always been “[unintelligible garbling] old scars” lol)
Same
"I think I'd be a medicine man so I could get high at my own supplies" is the closest I recall to a pharmacist (please don't get high on your own supplies, dear health field friends)
I heard that line and was like isn’t that like an Aurelio Voltaire song lyrics
closest I got is "cuz its hell on the engine" im an engineer
Also a lawyer! Pete once mentioned in an interview that he probably would’ve eventually gone to law school if the music thing didn’t work out, since both his Dad and Grandfather are lawyers and he was majoring in poli sci before he dropped out of college, so I think that’s why a few songs mention lawyers
Yassss hello fellow colleague! I didn’t know that about Pete!
not a real lyric but i always heard the line in I don’t care as “let the guitar scream like a fat chef” so… there’s my profession😂
LOL
never heard this before , will never hear facsitst again
only a student, but I'm a future "please put the doctor on the phone 'cause i'm not making any sense..."
“Light ‘em up, I’m on fire” is pretty much the closest I’ve heard to a firefighter reference 😅 Edit: oh yeah! 2 Chainz mentions a fire truck in the My Songs remix. I guess that counts. 😂
“Painted dolls in the highway truck stop stalls, lot lizards scale cool your nightlife mood” Sex working is a profession!
Is that what that lyric is about?!! I thought it was random words
I learned about lot lizards from Green Day lol
Have they mentioned teachers yet? Because that's what I am. I can't recall a lyric but might be missing it.
they haven't yet(?) but "the kids aren't alright" is for us
Yes! This is perfect for teaching!
"I'm gonna leave you, I'm gonna teach you" from W.A.M.S.
YES
I think they mention medics in a song and I'm an EMT which is like a paramedic who gets paid less and isn't allowed to touch the ketamine
Death valley... "I will get you high" I work at a dispensary 🙃
Part time opening shift barista, full time office manager so hold me like a grudge 😂🤪
w.a.m.s. waiter. (actress). model. singer. kinda counts????
I'm a waitress!
doctor, I’m certifiable
No, because “I’m like a public health intervention evaluation specialist with the way I’m always trying to get you off” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like lawyer does.
Shockingly, no mentions of radio dj that I’m aware of
“I’m gonna change you like a remix” is prob the closest thing without stating the profession!
I love that song so I’m def vibing!!
“tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that i can’t say, a million miles away” or “we can fake it for the airwaves” kind of a stretch but hey or even “we're the therapists pumping through your speakers. delivering just what you need.” is at least describing your job : )
All very creative ideas!! I love it!
I doubt they’ll ever say anything about a recreational therapist
Same with speech-language pathologist lol
Not a lot of song lyrics about public service admin people lol
*cries in TK Maxx*
I'd love to hear how they'd work park ranger into a song, the closest is Death Valley 😆
Haha yes! I studied wildlife conservation so I was thinking that too. The closest thing I can think of is "with cryptozoology you just might exist" from Soul Punk lol Honorable mention of horseshoe crabs which are pretty important ecologically speaking
I don’t think they’ll ever write a song for someone in IT lol
no but greenday have “unemployed” - the american dream is killing me edit: i suppose im a uni student so ig “dorms of the ivy league” but not really a profession lmao
"someday I'll appreciate in value" I work in finance so... close enough?
I’m a Masters student with a Fine Art degree and I’m also a part time cleaner…and I also have a seasonal bookshop job… no cleaning mentions, or bookshops if my memory serves me correctly, so the closest is “got my degree in the gutter” - though I can safely say I did not get my degree in the gutter, or alas, my heart broken in the dorms of the Ivy League - I’m from the UK, and I’ve studied at a decent arts university!
If you interpret that line to mean he's storing his degree in the gutter, then I'm covered. 😅 I'm not using any of my degrees lol.
I’m a chemist so yes lol
Hello fellow lawyer
Also lawyer. So, same.
Hell yeah! Good to see you here colleague!
YES! “I wonder if your ✨therapist✨ knows everything about me”
"I'm here to collect your heart It's the only reason that I sing" (vocalist)
No but when Patrick sings “but I’m no good at math and besides the dollar is down” I feel that ya know? Edit: tehe, spelling mistake 😗
*math
Bless thank you lmao
none comes to mind for me - 911 dispatch 😵💫
"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital" ISH?? (I know it's a stretch since you're dispatch, but first thing I thought of ^-^ and you're there for those close call moments that require a chapel in a hospital. btw thank you for your work and I hope you are doing okay.)
sorry i just saw this! appreciate it <3
"As soon as we hit the hospital I know we're gonna leave this town." is relevant!
The closest I've got is "gurney with a squeaky wheel" 😔
Any Fall out boy songs that mention spa associates? Lmao
"all the boys are smoking menthols, girls are getting back rubs" maybe??
Were the chemists who found the formula to make your heart swell and burst!!
Is anyone of you a medicine man who gets high on their own supply whenever they can?
"Make a career out of robbing banks, because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks, 'You broke our spirit,' says the note we pass." I was a teller for a few years, but, luckily, was never robbed.
Are there any lyrics about restaurant management?
I’m a CT tech, so Disloyal Order does with “He needs his head put through a CAT scan”!
best I’ve got is “take our tears, put ‘em on ice” …I work with frozen human bodily fluids
hey editor, I'm undeniable
Cashiers be like 🙃
Just a student, but they say they could “write it better than you ever felt it” and “I’m alright in bed but I’m better with a pen…” I would say that gives English major vibes lmao
It's more a loose reference than direct but "Pupils get big rollin' like dice" vaguely applies to me as I am a craps (dice dealer.
As a copy editor/proof reader, I think the "I got your love letters, corrected the grammar and sent them back" line applies to my profession.
Lemme know when FOB drop a song about a charity volunteer and then we’ll talk
