SKIMMING MILK FROM THE CREAM

SOME FOLKS LIVE IN A SHANGRI LA
MOST FORGET, JUST WHO THEY ARE
THEY THINK THEY'RE A STAR
SMOKING THEIR BIG CIGARS
HANGING AROUND, AT THEIR HOTEL BARS

SOME DRIVE FANCY SPORTS CARS
NEED TO VALIDATE JUST WHO THEY ARE
ME, I JUST AVOID ALL THE FUSS
WHO NEEDS A CAR, WHEN YOU'RE RIDING THE BUS?

EVERYONES SEARCHING, PURSUING A DREAM
ME, I'M JUST HAPPY, 
SKIMMING MILK FROM THE CREAM LALALA, LALALA, LALALA

CHASING CAREERS, IN THEIR GOLDEN YEARS
WHEN YOU LEFT, DID YOU HEAR ALL OF THEIR CHEERS?
NO TEARS WERE SHED, NOTHING WAS SAID
NO ONE CARED ABOUT THE LIFE YOU HAD LED

I WANT NO PART OF YOUR GAME
DON'T BLAME ME FOR ALL OF YOUR SHAME
I HAVE NO GUILT OR CAN CLAIM
NEVER TOUCHED A DROP OF YOUR CHAMPAGNE

EVERYONES SEARCHING, PURSUING A DREAM
ME, I'M JUST HAPPY, 
SKIMMING MILK FROM THE CREAM LALALA, LALALA, LALALA
