I'M A FIREFIGHTER
I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
The priorities on the playgrounds are right
About trucks to drive and flames to fight
6 years old there is no doubt
We’re heroes born to rescue to climb and fight
10 years on the teacher takes me aside
Takes a shot at my my my teenage pride
He says: “Your wasting your talent my friend
This firefighter dream has got to end”
He’s determined to rescue me
From the graveyard of opportunity
But I missed the parade, the white collar march
My collar stays blue no matter how starched
I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
He’s a clever man but so am I
Another chapter of years goes by
One night I’m called to the scene of the crash
Cut him free from the twisted mash
I’m a firefighter, fighting the fires
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
Life is to ironic to be simple and true
So do what you do and do it for you
I’m a firefighter, so do what you do and do it for you
