Not-For-Profit Life

Voices of children enjoying the sunshine
Laughing and playing with friends
Livin' out days as if each was a lifetime
And losing themselves in pretend

No plan for riches
No thirst for fame
Young lives so simple
Less greed, less pain

They're livin' not-for-profit lives
No sleepless nights, no worries or fears
They live it one day at a time
Livin'... not-for-profit... lives

Then come the years of bigger and better
The quest for success at all costs
Convincing themselves they've gotta keep pace with
The neighbors, the times and their boss
Squandering life for the sake of achievement
More money, more stuff, but no time
Chasin' the dream, the one they bought into
The one with no reason or rhyme

No thanks, you keep it!
That's not for me!
Things I hold dearest
Mostly come free

I'll take a not-for-profit life!
No sleepless nights, no worries or fears
I'll live it one day at a time
Livin'... a not-for-profit... life
