Never Is Enough Lyrics

    Words by Steven Page & Ed Robertson. Music by Ed Robertson

    What, am I to wake up suddenly and then
    enroll at the local college and earn me a degree
    And I could work weekends?
    if I've worked real hard
    I could mow your back yard

    I can go to Europe travel with my friends
    I can blow a thousand deutsche marks
    to get drunk in a pub with some Australians.
    Buy a giant backpack
    sew a flag on the back

    I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
    I never have to 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 planting trees
    I never worked my way through a forest inch by inch
    doubled over on my hands and knees.
    I never spent a single day in retail
    telling people what they want to hear
    telling people anything to make a sale.
    Eating in the food court
    with the old and the bored

    I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
    I never have to do that stuff

    I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
    You never have to do that stuff

    The worlds your oyster shell
    So what's that funny smell
    You eat the bivalve anyway
    And you're sick with salmonella
    You get your Ph.D.
    How happy you will be
    When you get a job at Wendy's
    And are honored with employee of the month

    I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
    I never have to do that stuff

    I think never is enough (Yeah never is enough)
    You never have to do that stuff
