Ive got my three-piece suit
and my briefcase
Well-worn half-smile
and a kind face
My greatest achievement?
placed third in the rat race
I am what I am supposed to be
I had on okay time
in my days here
I learned how to aim low
how to quell fear
Guess it's time to sit back
and have a cold beer
I am what I am supposed to be
Would've been cool
to be a rock star
If I really tried hard
i could've gone far
Just don't think too hard
it won't leave a scar
I was what I was supposed to be
