Doobie 'Doghouse' Wilson - Mediocrity Lyrics

I'm not livin' up to my potential
I'm not bein' all I can be
I'm not meeting all these expectations
That everybody's puttin' down on me

They don't write about me in the paper
They don't talk about me on the tube
I never got a presidential letter
Saying, Son, the country's so proud of you

I don't want to be the best
I just want to pass the test
Hey! Mediocrity, it's good enough for me
I couldn't care less about the rest
I don't want to be the best

I never been a football captain
I never made it with the homecoming queen
I never rode my bike across the USA
In fact, right here's the only place I've ever been

I don't want to be like my sister
I don't want to be like my dad
I don't want to be like nobody else
Just take me, the good and the bad

I don't want to be the best
I just want to pass the test
Hey! Mediocrity, it's good enough for me
I couldn't care less about the rest
I don't want to be the best (OMG, he's not the best)
I just want to pass the test (He just wants to pass the test)
Hey! Mediocrity, it's good enough for me
I couldn't care less about the rest
I don't wanna be the best
