Lyrics
Hello boys and girls
I'm gonna tell you a tale
About a man of the world
Every word of it's true
And by the time that I'm through
You just may walk away
With a new point of view
You see
I'm a maverick
A trailblazer
Rebel and soothsayer
Jack of all trades
Ace of spades
I live the life
Our teachers told us about
Irony is that I'm cast out
Seems to me the things
That preached to us
Are what they wished they'd done
Follow your dreams
Always believe in yourself
My belief is success
Should not be measured by wealth
I'm on my way
Don't care about fortune or fame
Plan my work
Work my plan
Won't stop till I'm done
And getting there
Is half of the fun
Don't work no 9 to 5
Don't wear a monkey suit
Don't toe a company line
Don't do the daily grind
Don't care about bottom lines
Do what I gotta do
And I do just fine
You see
I ain't a rat in a race
I ain't a mouse in a maze
I want a life
Not all work and no play
I make no bones about it
I don't doubt it
If you see me as a tramp
A drifter
Dreamer
Vagabond
I'm sure the list goes on and on
I'll stow away on a plane
Train or automobile
Do whatever it takes
Beg barter or steal
I'm on my way
Don't care about fortune or fame
Got a lot more work
Won't stop till I'm done
But getting there
Is half of the fun
My story's just begun
I dream of the day
When I get my 15 minutes of fame
I've got something to say
I'll leave my mark then I'm done
Then I'll walk away
And ride off into the sun
But what I seek
Is the chance to speak
And have my voice be heard
To speak as one of the many voices
That fall on deaf ears
It's a voice of disgust
For what money and greed
Has done to music
And more importantly
This world
I dream of a day
I'll take the stage
To claim some award
That don't mean a thing
I'll stand there
Look out onto my peers
When the cheers die down
I'll have all ears
All the people at home
Glued to the tube
Tuned in to see
Who's wearing who
I'll have my hat on
Jeans and boots
And the people will
Finally hear the truth
Thank you for the honor
Of this award
There's an unheard band
Out there I'm sure
Far more deserving
Of it than me
And all the other nominees
I've got a real small list
Of people to thank
They know who they are
So I'll be frank
I got an axe to grind
I got a bone to pick
With all you people
That make me sick
I look out tonight
And all I see
Is ego vanity and greed
Jaded people
In love with wealth
Who only live
To serve themselves
Our children look up to you
They hear what you say
They see what you do
And my guess is
That what you paid
For you gown
Is about the same cost
To feed a whole damn town
So kids at home
Heed my advice
This may seem glamorous
But it ain't life
So find your passion
And follow your dreams
But do it for love
Don't do it for greed
Just be yourself
Don't be no one else
Just go to be yourself
Cause there's no one else
Like you
