If you are not like me then you will never probably see The million thoughts I dream of being everyday A sailor, a wrestler, but never a candlestick maker (ambition people, come on!) We all think outside the box but end up never breaking out Tesco’s, stuck on the till, idealist conceptions up on a hill but sat here earning nowt Its human instinct to better yourself Flunked GCSE’s, a mortgage to pay but still dreaming of better days Am I the only one who thinks like this I work to live, not live to work, the optimist in me always wanting his bliss Life begins to **** this wanting of a concept Sorry lads, the time is now, be like them and live with the debts It’s what you do that counts, that journey from start to finish Live like a king or slide away and diminish, A million thoughts JJB

A Million Thoughts
If you are not like me then you will never probably see The million thoughts I dream of being everyday A sailor, a wrestler, but never a candlestick maker (ambition people, come on!) We all think outside the box but end up never breaking out Tesco’s, stuck on the till, idealist conceptions up on a hill but sat here earning nowt Its human instinct to better yourself Flunked GCSE’s, a mortgage to pay but still dreaming of better days Am I the only one who thinks like this I work to live, not live to work, the optimist in me always wanting his bliss Life begins to **** this wanting of a concept Sorry lads, the time is now, be like them and live with the debts It’s what you do that counts, that journey from start to finish Live like a king or slide away and diminish, A million thoughts JJB
