lyrics

I don't wanna sell anything
Buy anything
Or process anything
As a career

I dont want to sell anything
Bought or processed
Or buy anything
Sold or processed
Or process anything
Sold, bought or processed...
Or repair anything
Sold, bought or processed
you know...as a career

I don't want to do that
I don't want to do that
I don't want to do that

My father's in the army
He wants me to join
But I can't work
For that corporation
So what I've been
Doing lately
Is kick boxing
Which is a new sport

As far as career longevity...
As far as career longevity...
As far as career longevity...
I don't really know
I don't really know

I can't
Figure it all out tonight, so
Figure it all out tonight, so
Figure it all out tonight, so
I'm just gonna hang.......

With your daughter
Uh huh

Someone told me the world's full of guys
Someone told me no, you're not a guy
Someone told me don't be a guy
Be man

So, I gave her my heart
I gave her my heart
I gave her my heart
And she gave me a pen
She gave me a pen
