Never Is Enough

Barenaked Ladies · Stunt [1998]

What am I to wake up suddenly, and then

Enroll at the local college, earn me a degree and I can work weekends

If I work real hard

I could mow your back yard



I could go to Europe,

travel with my friends

I could blow a thousand Deutschmarks

To get drunk in a pub with some Australians



Buy a giant backpack

Sew a flag on the back



Think never is enough, yeah never is enough

I never wanna do that stuff

I think never is enough, yeah never is enough

You never have to do that stuff



I never had to spend a summer plantin trees

I never worked my way through forests

Inch-by-inch doubled over on my hands and knees

Never spend a single day in retail

Tellin' people what they wanna hear

Tellin' people anything to make a sale

Eating in a food court

With the old, and the bored



Think never is enough, yeah never is enough

Never wanna do that stuff

I think never is enough, yeah never is enough

Never have to do that stuff



The world's your oyster shell

So what's that funny smell

You eat the ? anyway

Then you're sick with salmanella

You get your Ph. D

How happy you will be

When you get a Wendy's

And are honored with Employee of the Month



I think never is enough, yeah never is enough

I never wanna do that stuff

I think never is enough, yeah never is enough

You never have to do that stuff (3x's)
