Original version
I can't stand this occupation
always on the move
I feel dreams of building houses
and living inside them too!
I don't need this hand in hand
but that don't mean no feeling
I don't have to sit around
listen to your rea- reasoning
I can't stand this occupation
always on the move
I have dreams of being rich
and drowning in the sea
the sea
I don't need this hand in hand
but that don't mean no feeling
I don't have to sit around
listen to your rea- reasoning
