James
We were always friends
From our childhood days
And we made our plans
And we had to go our seperate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education

James
Do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
Will you ever write your masterpiece
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations
James

You were so relied upon
Everybody knows how hard you tried
Hey

Oh, look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James you've been well behaved
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody James

I went on the road
You pursued an education
James

How you gonna know for sure
Everything was so well organized
Hey

Now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied

James
Do you like your life
Can you find release
And will you ever change
When will you write your masterpiece
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody James
