You can live in a mansion
You can live in a tent
Make your home on a houseboat
Or an apartment that you rent
You can live in the suburbs
Commute to work downtown
Or you can be a farmer
Earn your living from the ground
Be a broker on Wall Street
Sell food from a cart
Or you can be a rock star
With a record on the charts
You can drive a race car
Pretty cool if you don't crash
Or you can work in a diner
Slinging corn beef hash
At the end of the day we're all the same
We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
At the of the day, that's what I say
At the end of the day we're all the same
Run away and join the circus
Get a college degree
You could even be a lawyer
Entering a plea
And you can go to China
And you can even go to France
Or sit on the sidelines
If you don't care to dance
At the end of the day we're all the same
We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
At the end of the day and that's what I say
At the end of the day we're all the same
That's what I say
Well
Ha, play it, come on
Oh, yeah
And you can be a statesman
Win a Nobel Prize
You can be a dreamer
With stardust in your eyes
You can be a preacher
Every Sunday you can preach
Or you can be a teacher
And every day you can teach
But at the end of the day we're all the same
We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
At the end of the day, that's what I say
At the end of the day we're all the same
You can be a doctor
You can be a nurse
You can be a specialist
Or you can be diverse (you can be diverse)
You can be a fireman (a fireman)
Or a talk show host (or a talk show host)
You can have the least (you can have the least)
You can have the most (or you can have the most)
You can be an accountant (you can be an accountant)
Or an advertising man (or an advertising man)
You could be an improviser (be an improviser)
Or just stick with the plan (stick with the plan y'all)
You can fly in an airplane (fly in an airplane)
Or drive a submarine (or drive a submarine)
You can eat filet mignon (eat filet mignon)
With a side of rice and beans (oh-oh)
You can be a magician (hey, hey)
Or you can drive a truck (ooh, ooh)
You can be a gambler (ah, yeah)
You can count on lady luck
