Charlie's made it big on the TV set And I'm still cleaning toilets trying not to regret Hating all the people in my life who got me wrecked Worn on the outside but wearing thin I'm having a tough time trying to win Getting by having the time of my life Don't worry about the people who don't care I'm alive You're never as big as you think you are Didn't think this idea would be so hard You're never as big as you seem to think You are Oh yeah You will never know when you are having the time of your life I wish I could take my own advice You will never know when you are having the time of your life I wish I could take my own advice Charlie's nailing life on a daily basis While I'm struggling to look at people's faces If I had the money I would surely go places The cash in your pocket don't change a thing After life is not something you can bring Faux pas running around Try to make things better but you just run aground I'm not going slow I'm just living cheap It'll be alright with a good nights sleep I'm not going slow I'm just a living Cheap Oh yeah You will never know when you are having the time of your life I wish I could take my own advice You will never know when you are having the time of your life I wish I could take my own advice Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
