Lyrics for 'Career Choice' by 'Ben Lee'
When I Was A Kid I Was Best At Whatever I Did
When I Was A Kid I Was Smart, At The Top Of The Class
When I Was A Lad I Was Sure I Had The World In My Hands
I Was My Own Teacher I Had My Own Plan
I Could Have Been An Athlete Could Have Trained All The Time
Been Just Like The Others Could Have Left Them Behind
But I Was Too Lazy I Could Not See Ahead
All I Thought Of Was Music That Was Filling My Head
I Could Have Been A Painter Painting Life In A Rush
All I Saw In A Day On Canvas With My Brush
But I Was Just Painting My Life In A Song
Getting All The Chords Right Getting All The Words Wrong
I Could Have Been A Writer With A Back Catalogue
Full Of Stories Of Crimes, Sex And Beer, Girls And Drugs
But Instead I Was Writing My First Song So Bad
On The Cheapest Guitar That The Music Store Had
'cos Instead I Strummed On Guitars
Instead I Wasted My Time
And I Strummed On Guitars
I Could Have Been A Lawyer Defending Some Guy
With A Paycheck So Big For My Heart Paid To Lie
But Instead I Was Keeping The Truth To Myself
In The Records I Placed One By One On My Shelf
I Could Have Been A Champion, Man Of The Year
Wave To The Crowd As They Scream And Cheer
But Here I Am Playing To People Sat Down
Nursing Their Beers While I Play The Clown
And Instead I Strummed On Guitars
Instead I Wasted My Time
And I Strummed On Guitars
I Could Have Been A Racing Car Driver Speed Mad
Seeking The Thrills That My Youth Never Had
But Instead I Was Busy Enjoying My Age
With Teen Punk Rock Anthems And Hearts Paid To Rage
I Could Have Been A Scientist, Doctor Or Man
With A Stethoscope Diagnosing Ladies' Old Hands
But Instead I Built Fret-callous Fingertip Scars
On My Ten Year Old Hands Meant For Toy Ships And Cars
And Instead I Strummed On Guitars
Instead I Wasted My Time
Strummed On Guitars
I Could Have Been So Much
But I Wasted My Time On Useless Guitars
I Could Have Been So Much
But I'm Not
And I'm Glad
And I'm Glad
'cos When I Was A Kid I Was Best At Whatever I Did
