ben lee - career choice كلمات الأغنية

when i was a kid i was best at whatever i did
when i was a kid i was smart, at the top of the cl-ss
when i was a lad i was sure i had the world in my hands
i was my own teacher i had my own plan

i could have been an athlete could have trained all the time
been just like the others could have left them behind
but i was too lazy i could not see ahead
all i thought of was music that was filling my head

i could have been a painter painting life in a rush
all i saw in a day on canvas with my brush
but i was just painting my life in a song
getting all the chords right getting all the words wrong

i could have been a writer with a back catalogue
full of stories of crimes, s-x and beer, girls and drugs
but instead i was writing my first song so bad
on the cheapest guitar that the music store had

‘cos instead i strummed on guitars
instead i wasted my time
and i strummed on guitars

i could have been a lawyer defending some guy
with a paycheck so big for my heart paid to lie
but instead i was keeping the truth to myself
in the records i placed one by one on my shelf

i could have been a champion, man of the year
wave to the crowd as they scream and cheer
but here i am playing to people sat down
nursing their beers while i play the clown

and instead i strummed on guitars
instead i wasted my time
and i strummed on guitars

i could have been a racing car driver speed mad
seeking the thrills that my youth never had
but instead i was busy enjoying my age
with teen punk rock anthems and hearts paid to rage

i could have been a scientist, doctor or man
with a stethoscope diagnosing ladies’ old hands
but instead i built fret-callous fingertip scars
on my ten year old hands meant for toy ships and cars

and instead i strummed on guitars
instead i wasted my time
strummed on guitars

i could have been so much
but i wasted my time on useless guitars
i could have been so much
but i’m not
and i’m glad
and i’m glad
‘cos when i was a kid i was best at whatever i did
