Deputy Video (MV)

Guess that I'll live longer than some good ones
Guess that I'll go sooner than some bad ones
Cos the good lord gives and he takes away
In a way that doesn't make sense to me
Guess that it's a good job that he's the top dog
And I am just a deputy

Guess I could have ended up a narwhal
Or some other ocean-dwelling animal
But the big man didn't give me the choice
To be a blue whale or a porpoise
I'd have been a big deal as an elephant seal
Or swimming as a manatee

Time will tell the way that only time can
If it's a good thing I was born a human
With such big visions and such great plans
But such a small mind and such tiny hands
Yeah it's a good job that I'm not at the top
I'm better as a deputy
I'm better as a deputy
I'd rather be a deputy
