Lyrics

I'm just tryin' to find enjoyment
in unemployment, tryin' to make somethin' from nothin', nothin', nothin'
tryin' to act like I don't care that the money just ain't there, eatin' crackers and cheese
as often as I please

Oh what did I want to be when I grew up
A free spirit is all I could do up right
A singer, a writer in search of my song
Makin' up my life as I go along

They say I've no ambition, can't make decisions, despite these ugly rumors
I've retained my sense of humor,
stifling my cravings, dryin' up my
savings, got the lazy man's disease
relyin' on my fantasies

Oh I'm not sure I'll ever wanna grow up with the kinda work that's out there I'm not sure I'd wanna show up
So I sing and I write about what I know that there ain't no status in my status quo

Just tryin' to find enjoyment in unemployment, tryin' to make somethin' from nothin', nothin', nothin'
tryin' to think positively while I take what they give me, I'm down to skin and bones, it's time to pay off my loans.

But there's somethin' to the freedom and dangerous fun in livin' the life of a bum.
