I Just Work Here Songtext
von Steve Forbert

It′s not supposed to be like this
The rat race gotta cease
There's supposed to be some time to kill
There′s supposed to be some peace
I got a wife and kids in town
And all their names I know
But I'm just here to pay their bills
And hold the status quo
How am I doing?
Don't ask me
I just work here can′t you see
How am I doing?
Oh so-so
I just work here
I don′t know
It's not supposed to be like this
It′s supposed to be some fun
The work it takes to make things work
Is all I do is run
I lost my watch a week ago


And still can't find the time
To buy myself a new one
Like that old time peace of mind
How am I doing?
Don′t ask me
I just work here can't you see
How am I doing?
Oh so-so
I just work here
I don′t know
Somewhere there's a summer
Somewhere things are calm
Somewhere there's a way to
Circumnavigate your palm
Somewhere there′s a winter
Somewhere falling snow
Somewhere there′s a way away from
All those things you know
It's not supposed to be like this
It′s all too much to take
It's way too complicating now
Is all I got to say
The ice cream man is down the block
The bell sounds like a dream
He′s just outside the parking lot
But miles away it seems
How am I doing?
Don't ask me
I just work here can′t you see
How am I doing?
Oh so-so
I just work here
I don't know
