Red Herring - At The End Of The Day lyrics

When I was a little boy I wanted to To be an architect. It only took a couple of months To change that blueprint. Then I was a painter, Went to the museum, Studied up good to be an art nerd. 'Til I learned a picture's only worth a thousand words. (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) So when did I change, (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) From doing what I want, (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) To doing what (Wanna get paid!!!) I want to get paid. Take your million bucks And throw it all away. If you're not happy you're just broke At the end of the day. Then there was high school, Playin' in the school band, Wailing on the saxophone like a madman. Gonna be the next Charlie Parker, you know. Then the theatre, Wanna hit the big stage, Someone says, "Son, you know that ain't the way!" Gotta do something to pay the bills. Well, at least I can still "act" fulfilled. (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) When did I change, (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) From doing what I want, (Doo-wop, Doo-wop, Ba Da) To doing what (Wanna get paid!!!) I want to get paid. Take your million bucks And throw it all away. If you're not happy you're just broke At the end of the day. YEAH!!!!
