Sitting Doing Nothing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just sitting doing nothing
Wondering where I should go
People tell me I'm just lazy
Weather or not it's true I don't know
So I'm just sitting doing nothing
Wondering where I should go
Many people that I've encountered
Say they wish that they were free
And I know that secretly
All those people would really like to be me
So even though they tell me I'm idle
Why should I do what they say
For they're in the same place all the time
But I'm only there for a day
So I'm just sitting doing nothing
Wondering where I should go
