lyrics
Mamma says, "son, what you doing with your life?
Art don't feed your body. What girl will be your starving wife?"
Oh, but mamma, gotta do what makes you whole
Art don't feed your body, but it feeds your soul
Soon as you speak they ask you what you wanna be
Policeman, a ballplayer, an actor on TV
Pilot, a president, a captain's first mate
It all starts off as just a choice you make
From that point on you follow the path, avoid the cracks
They got you thinking it's a road when it's a track
Every adult twists your mind till it aches
Till you don't even realize it's them making all the choices you make
And someday you'll be sittin' alone, figuring what's at stake
Your whole life's been fixing someone else's mistakes
And all of a sudden from their dream you'll awake
And it'll be so clear now, it'll be so clear now, it'll be so clear now
It's all just a choice you make
Who you marry, your sex, peace, god, happiness
Wanna be decent or wanna be the best
If still wanna be that actor on TV well for Christ's sake
It's all just a choice you make
And someday you'll be sittin' alone, figuring what's at stake
Your whole life's been fixing someone else's mistakes
And all of a sudden from their dream you'll awake
And it'll be so clear now, it'll be so clear now, it'll be so clear now
It's all just a choice you make
Just a choice you make
Mamma says, "son, what you doing with your life?
Art don't feed your body. What girl will be your starving wife?"
Oh, but mamma, gotta do what makes you whole
Art don't feed your body, but it feeds your soul
