Lyrics I Didn't Build It For Me - Daniel Amos

I Didn't Build It For Me

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
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
There’s a plaque 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
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
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!
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 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?»
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
