There's a million things a man can do
You better find something that you can get used to
Find a way to make it mean something to you
To you
There's a million different ways of getting by
Comb your hair and get a new suit that fits you right
Go to work and buy a house find a pretty wife
Wouldn't that be nice?
Don't you need something to do with your days?
If you're not working for someone
How are you going to get paid?
If there's a million things a man can be
Then I just wanna be here with you next to me
Just wanna be here with you next to me
Is it so easy?
There's a million things a man can do
You better find something that you can get used to
Every one of them will pull a piece out of you
Until you're through
There's a million things a man can be
What a pity living somebody else's dreams
When you were young they said that you could do anything
How about living again?
Don't you need something to do with your days?
If you're not working for someone
How are you going to get paid?
If there's a million things a man can be
Then I just wanna be here with you next to me
Just wanna be here with you next to me
Is it so easy?
Well I just wanted to be something
Now I feel like someone else
A stranger to my friends and
So much stranger to myself
I went working for a dollar
Put my dreams up on the shelf
And I've got no one left to blame
But myself
