now i'm a diplomat - reality club lyrics lyrics
[verse 1]
all i wanted was to see the world and play
vivaldi on the violin
read philosophy as i sip my coffee, printed books is
my rush of adrenaline
[verse 2]
still rode my bike in a sea of vespas
father said, “son, go work for the government”
there’s no guarantee, can’t feed your family
drowning yourself in hobbes and resentment
[chorus]
who knows where life will take you?
sold poems, now i’m a diplomat
worked till late to pass the time, refused the caviars and wine
i must say, i am proud of who i am
[verse 3]
took my kids to mandela’s hometown
left with shards of glass and a neck brace
but god works in such mysterious ways
goodbye athens, concrete jungle is where i’ll spend my days
[verse 4]
ask me something about the middle east, i’ll refer to page
80 of my thesis
now i’m a professor, my kin a rockstar, for a country boy
yeah i’ve gotten pretty far
[chorus]
who knows where life will take you?
sold poems, now i’m a diplomat
worked till late to pass the time, refused the caviars and wine
i must say, i am proud of who i am
[instrumental]
[chorus]
who knows where life will take you?
sold poems, now i’m a diplomat
didn’t think i’d have this life, have so much to thank my wife for
i must say, i am proud of who i am
[outro]
wish my father was around
to say he’s proud of who i am
