BARENAKED LADIES LYRICS - Never Is Enough

"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've worked real hard

I could mow your back yard



I can go to Europe, travel with my friends

I can blow a thousand deutsche marks

to get drunk in a pub with some Australians

Buy a giant backpack

sew a flag on the back



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 spent 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



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



The worlds 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



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
