Why Aren't I a Singer?

from LOVE and FAME by ACLU Benefit

/

about

I really am a professor and I love my work but there are days when I feel like this.

lyrics

(F-C-Em-Am-C)

Ooooh

Why did I go to college, mom?
Why didn't I sing?
Why did I re-enroll, not love everything?
Why am I a teacher and not a star?
Yes I might be a singer but no one knows who we are!

Ooooh

Mom why did I try to please the people I hate?
Why didn't I pursue my determined fate?
Was I too scared to do it or did I just not know how?
Did I not get the encouragement that'd make me feel allowed?
Why didn't I do the one thing that I love so much?
Why didn't I keep on reaching for the one important touch?

Ooooh
