Nobody`s Doing the Job — текст песни (The Roches)

Nobody`s doing the job they want to be doing
Don`t you see that`s the whole problem?

The waiter wants to be an actor
And the dentist wants to be a violinist
The lawyer wants to be just about anything but a lawyer
But still make a fortune and live off the interest
The baby wants to be a big girl
And the teacher wants to be a performer
The dancer used to be the thing she always wanted to be
But now she`s the maitre d`
The businessman wants to be a musician
And the housewife wants to be a magician
The doctor doesn`t want to be a physician
But the restaurateur now he`s found a cure
For the nine to five blues
But the messenger he doesn`t want to bring the news
The bus driver wants to win the lottery
And the thief has to be what he`s gotta be
And nobody wants to be a bum
The piano player wants to beat the drum
Mostly everybody thinks they`d like to be a star
Except celebrities in magazines you read
That say how difficult it is to be the thing they are
And that something else is really what they need.
