I Didn’t Build It for Me Songtext
von Daniel Amos

You think I built this for me?
You think I built this for me?
This isn′t mine- it's yours, it′s really for you
I didn't build it for me

I don't have the time to enjoy it
I′m asked why I don′t use the facilities
I don't have the slightest inclination
I won′t consider it, I didn't build it for me...


There′s a plack in the hall
My name's on the wall
And a statue of my family
It wasn′t my decision
It was all in a vision
I didn't build it, I never would have built it
I really didn't build it for me...

One man stood alone
One man did succeed
I′m the man, I′m the one
I didn't build it for me
One man stood alone
Numero uno
I′m the man, I'm the one
I′m the man of the hour!...

I used to say, "Why doesn't somebody do something about this?"
I cried, "Oh, what about this need?"
Then a voice said, "You do something about it"
I said, "Oh woooow you mean me?"...
