The Roches

The Roches - Nobody's Doing the Job lyrics

rate me

Nobody's doing the job they want to be doing

Don't you see that's the whole problem?

The waiter wants to be an actor

And the dentist wants to be a violinist

The lawyer wants to be just about anything but a lawyer

But still make a fortune and live off the interest

The baby wants to be a big girl

And the teacher wants to be a performer

The dancer used to be the thing she always wanted to be

But now she's the maitre d'

The businessman wants to be a musician

And the housewife wants to be a magician

The doctor doesn't want to be a physician

But the restaurateur now he's found a cure

For the nine to five blues

But the messenger he doesn't want to bring the news

The bus driver wants to win the lottery

And the thief has to be what he's gotta be

And nobody wants to be a bum

The piano player wants to beat the drum

Mostly everybody thinks they'd like to be a star

Except celebrities in magazines you read

That say how difficult it is to be the thing they are

And that something else is really what they need.
