Nicholas Bernardi - My Way
They never seem to tell you
Just the way it's gonna be
Your value as a person
In this society
Well it's your civic duty
Your profitability
And doing what you love
Is a low probability
When you're alive they fit you
For your suit and tie
You wear it while you work
And then you wear it when you die
Dearly beloved we're gathered today
To celebrate this career
Lived a good life, then turned 22
So let's raise a beer, nah
Well it's the first day
Of the rest of my life
I don't need you dimes
I don't need your strife
I got bills to pay
Gonna do it my way
Well it's the first time
That that I've been free
I don't need your stress
Pushing down on me
Don't care what you say
Gonna do it my way
Working 9-5
Might be someone else's dream
But it's more like a nightmare
Where no one hears you scream
Well, I don't mean to be
A heart breaker
But you're just working for the man
until you meet your maker
So take your two weeks and shove it
I don't need anymore of it
I'm taking my train
To the last stop today
Dearly beloved we're gathered today
To celebrate this career
Lived a good life, then got laid off
So let's raise a beer, nah
Well it's the first day
Of the rest of my life
I don't need you dimes
I don't need your strife
I got bills to pay
Gonna do it my way
Well it's the first time
That that I've been free
I don't need your stress
Pushing down on me
Don't care what you say
Gonna do it my way
Well life ain't always certain
It's not supposed to be
But if you embrace the struggle
You can set your spirit free
All of us were ment for good
We can feel it deep inside
Just open up your hearts
And you can open up your mind
And you"ll get by
You still got time
Cuz it's the first day
Of the rest of my life
I don't need you dimes
I don't need your strife
I got bills to pay
Gonna do it my way
Well it's the first time
That that I've been free
I don't need your stress
Pushing down on me
Don't care what you say
Gonna do it my way
