lyrics

No Ambition

Verse 1
Hear a call, it's 4 p.m.
My boss say pulls me over and says, "Begin.
I'm told that you're unhappy here
Tell me why and pull up a chair."
It's a dead end job; you've been there 15 years
There's no direction; my check barely clears
The end result is mediocre at best
I wanna use my words, but I'd rather use my fists
Doesn't care if I starve or suffer
Goes in one ear, right out the other

Chorus
No ambition, what can I say?
You and I just don't think the same way
No ambition; it's just a job
You're always poor; I eat high off the hog
No ambition; you're a fool
You could live wealthy but you're doing rock and roll
No ambition; always with strife
why do anything when this job is my life?

Verse 2
Forty years later, hear that call again
Same boss, same position
"I hear that you're stuck here,
tell me why and pull up a chair"
You killed my dreams, you hauled my task
I was reaching for my goals, now I'm chained to a desk
Be loyal and obey
Doesn't get a thing that I say
Doesn't care if I starve or suffer
Goes in one ear, right out the other
