Careful . . .

It's a life for the living
It's a price to pay
It's every day
You can never take a break
What's a passion
What's a hobby
You say you got to make money with them
Or you should drop it
Stupid
Run around in circles for a profit
Move until you plotz
Do it for the stock options
Drinking martinis on the rocks, got a padded wallet

Shit is awesome you can see the whole city from the front office
Sundays you go jogging with the ladies and exchange gossip
Walking in the park, talk about your problems
Yeah the new babies
And the latest modern art exhibit's going crazy
And tuition for your pre Ks is getting paid
And your taxes keep decreasing 'cause of Raeganomics
You think she's stealing you might need to find a new maid
You don't want to fire her but such is life
It's such a shame, she was nice, wasn't she
It's the broken dishes and disappearing earrings for me
Then the cat dies
You find the hidden stash of jewelry behind the couch
You hang your head and wonder if the help is alright
And now the firm is facing litigation, time to downsize
They keep saying streamline, that means that you won't survive
Pad your resume in preparation, keeping time
Your husband's coming home at five, you don't know where he goes at night
You see it all begin to slip away before your eyes
Pretending everything is fine, we know that's a lie

It's a life for the living
It's a price to pay
It's every day
You can never take a break
What's a passion
What's a hobby
You say you got to make money with them
Or you should drop it
Stupid
Run around in circles for a profit
Move until you plotz
Do it for the stock options
Drinking martinis on the rocks, got a padded wallet

Find yourself with nothing b*tch, you hit rock bottom
Started from the top now you're begging at the cross walks for your deposits
Going through withdrawals from posh life and prawns with cocktail sauce
You eating chicken cottage
Now you're looking up at people you would not acknowledge
Seeking help but they're too caught up with themselves to clock it
And there's nothing that you wouldn't do to make it stop
You would sell your body even, maybe fuck a snob, level up
You could see yourself with everything, but this is what you got
So be smart, what you take for granted, it could all be gone
