Barenaked Ladies : Stunt (1998) :
"Never Is Enough"
What, am I to wake up suddenly, and then
Enroll at the local college, earn me a degree, and I could work weekends
If I work real hard, I could mow your backyard
I could go to Europe, travel with my friends
I could blow a thousand Deutsche marks to get drunk in a pub with some Australians
Buy a shiny backpack, sew a flag on the back
Chorus—
I think never is enough (yeah, never is enough)
I never want to do that stuff
I think never is enough (yeah, never is enough)
You never have to do that stuff
I never had to spend a summer planting trees
I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
Doubled over on my hands and knees
I never worked a single day in retail
Telling people what they want to hear
Telling people anything to make a sale
Eating in the food court with the old and the bored
Chorus
The world’s your oyster shell
But what’s that funny smell
You eat the bivalve anyway
You’re sick with salmonella
You get your Ph. D.
How happy you will be
When you get a job at Wendy’s
And are honored with Employee of the Month
Chorus a few times...
