Roches - Nobody's Doing The Job lyrics

rate me

Nobody's doing the job they want to be doing<br />

Don't you see that's the whole problem?<br />

<br />

The waiter wants to be an actor<br />

And the dentist wants to be a violinist<br />

The lawyer wants to be just about anything but a lawyer<br />

But still make a fortune and live off the interest<br />

The baby wants to be a big girl<br />

And the teacher wants to be a performer<br />

The dancer used to be the thing she always wanted to be<br />

But now she's the maitre d'<br />

The businessman wants to be a musician<br />

And the housewife wants to be a magician<br />

The doctor doesn't want to be a physician<br />

But the restaurateur now he's found a cure<br />

For the nine to five blues<br />

But the messenger he doesn't want to bring the news<br />

The bus driver wants to win the lottery<br />

And the thief has to be what he's gotta be<br />

And nobody wants to be a bum<br />

The piano player wants to beat the drum<br />

Mostly everybody thinks they'd like to be a star<br />

Except celebrities in magazines you read<br />

That say how difficult it is to be the thing they are<br />

And that something else is really what they need.
