At The End Of The Day

Lyrics

You can live in a mansion
 You can live in a tent
 Make your home on a houseboat
 Or an apartment that you rent
 You can live in the suburbs
 Commute to work downtown
 Or you can be a farmer
 Earn your living from the ground
 Be a broker on Wall Street
 Sell food from a cart
 Or you can be a rock star
 With a record on the charts
 You can drive a race car
 Pretty cool if you don't crash
 Or you can work in a diner
 Slinging corn beef hash
 At the end of the day we're all the same
 We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
 At the of the day, that's what I say
 At the end of the day we're all the same
 Run away and join the circus
 Get a college degree
 You could even be a lawyer
 Entering a plea
 And you can go to China
 And you can even go to France
 Or sit on the sidelines
 If you don't care to dance
 At the end of the day we're all the same
 We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
 At the end of the day and that's what I say
 At the end of the day we're all the same
 That's what I say
 Well
 Ha, play it, come on
 Oh, yeah
 And you can be a statesman
 Win a Nobel Prize
 You can be a dreamer
 With stardust in your eyes
 You can be a preacher
 Every Sunday you can preach
 Or you can be a teacher
 And every day you can teach
 But at the end of the day we're all the same
 We're all the same, that's what I say, that's what I say
 At the end of the day, that's what I say
 At the end of the day we're all the same
 You can be a doctor
 You can be a nurse
 You can be a specialist
 Or you can be diverse (you can be diverse)
 You can be a fireman (a fireman)
 Or a talk show host (or a talk show host)
 You can have the least (you can have the least)
 You can have the most (or you can have the most)
 You can be an accountant (you can be an accountant)
 Or an advertising man (or an advertising man)
 You could be an improviser (be an improviser)
 Or just stick with the plan (stick with the plan y'all)
 You can fly in an airplane (fly in an airplane)
 Or drive a submarine (or drive a submarine)
 You can eat filet mignon (eat filet mignon)
 With a side of rice and beans (oh-oh)
 You can be a magician (hey, hey)
 Or you can drive a truck (ooh, ooh)
 You can be a gambler (ah, yeah)
 You can count on lady luck
