I can sit right here and not care at all 
I think that I’m entitled to a day of really doing nothing 
Just a day to stall 
Funny how that feels inside 

Cause I worked real hard, yes, even teachers do 
That’s in between vacations when we are just like you 
Doing what we do to make a living, too 
Occupation simplified 

And the hours are slowly passing by 
Sitting down and randomly 
Doing anything I want to and when night falls 
I look back on a day well spent 

I try to do my share of what has to be done 
But every now and then I put the brakes on 
And then it all slows down to a soothing pace 
My inner peace that I embrace 

I should be doing all at once, I know 
But it comes and goes, I don’t run this show 
I merely try to keep up with a bit of restraint 
In a slower lane 

There are messages awaiting my replies 
Your patience needs some exercise 
I can understand their need not to slow down 
I don’t think they’ll still be in town 
When I have finally come round 
Still sitting down
