It’s Sunday afternoon
Almost time to watch the game
Sittin’ in my living room
Won’t make the Hall of Fame
I live my life through others
Like they say vicariously
But I don’t really give a damn
It’s all the same to me

I’m just watchin’ the world go by
Not a cloud up in the sky
La di da o me oh my
Just sittin’ here watching the world go by

The times they are a changin’
But they never change for me
I just keep on holdin’ on
Content as I could be
Why would I ever change things?
What better could there be?
My life’s a bowl of cherries
So don’t feel bad for me

The more things change
The more they stay the same
It don’t really matter
Just the nature of the game
When I die who gives a damn
If no one knows my name
That’s just the way I roll
And I got no one else to blame

I’m just watchin’ the world go by
Not a cloud up in the sky
La di da o me oh my
Just sittin’ here watching the world go by

Sometimes I stop and ask myself
Is this how life should be?
When all the world’s a changin’
Shouldn’t something change for me?
The answer’s pretty simple
From my chair under this tree
If you never try to change things
You’ll be stuck right where you be

When I die don’t cry for me
‘Cause no one knew my name
That’s how I chose to live my life
It ain’t no cryin’ shame
I’d rather watch the world
Than be some kind of wannabe
‘Cause if you try and fail
You will wish that you were me
