lyrics

When I was just six years old
I was amazed when I was told
That I could be whatever I chose
And then for years the plans and fears
'Bout how to start and where to go
And whether I could stick to that road

Stick to that road
Wherever it may go

Now I don't want to work,
But I'll take my pay
Cause I think that I did
A good job today
If taking it easy was my career
I am here, I am here

When I was in undergrad
I wanted grades pretty bad
Searching for that pot of gold
Pushing, pushing, 'til I'm breaking
And I borrow, and I'm taking,
Trading, stealing, selling, and sold

Selling and sold
For that pot of gold

Now I don't want to work,
But I'll take my pay
Cause I think that I did
A good job today
If taking it easy was my career
I am here, I am here

And it's the most that I could dream of,
Being here
We are the few, those who see
Beauty for their tears, and I am
So blessed
Goodness
Take a look around this place
Nowhere else that I could ever be
Oh, oh

Still, I don't want to work,
But I'll take my pay
Cause I think that I did
A damn good job today
If taking it easy was my career
I am here, I am here...
