Lyrics

It?s a little after four on a Thursday afternoon
I stare into the screen where it seems that all I?m worth goes into
Just another day of the week, of the year, when does it end?
Right then and there I decide, this is not how I want to contend

I go on down the hall and deliver the news
I hate to go but I have to see what I can do
Too much is placed on staying with the status quo
There?s always another way, this I know

I?m doing my own thing
And I don?t want opinions
Your way is not mine
I don?t mean to be unkind
But I have to go alone
And try to follow what I know
I don?t wanna be
Livin? out the usual biography

The life I?ve always wanted is a life that I can look back on
When I?m sixty-four and I can say, hey I did it all
For any doubters this is what I say to everyone
Where is the living if all you do is wait for something to come?

I?m doing my own thing
And I don?t want opinions
Your way is not mine
I don?t mean to be unkind
But I have to go alone
And try to follow what I know
I don?t wanna be
Livin? out the usual biography

I look around and see the life that everyone I know has found
So satisfied with all they have, enjoying the day with peace of mind
Although at times it looks so right I know it?s not what I will find
I need a little something more, a day not knowing what?s in store

I?m doing my own thing
And I don?t want opinions
Your way is not mine
I don?t mean to be unkind
But I have to go alone
And try to follow what I know
I don?t wanna be
Livin? out the usual biography
