lyrics

Father said to stay in school
Study hard and you’ll be rich
Teachers taught me math and science
All I learned was life’s a bitch
The daily struggle, lessons learned,
A wife that loves you, hard work earns
A pension plan and mini-vans, two-car garage, a family man
Look, what more can I say now, look
A child on the way now, look
Promotion any day now, look
The more you slave away now, uh
Your weekly check, your credit debt
Look, look at what you get, at what you get.
You did the best you could with what you had, man!

(Chorus)
In my mind, we won't have much time, if we wait too long

Mother said to get a job,
Pay your dues and you’ll go far
Climb your way up corporate ladders
Here’s your key, company car
Mortgage loans on gorgeous homes,
Your status known by things you own
When the kids have grown, tuition costs, buy and sell, stock market loss
Look, what more can I say now, look
A child on the way now, look
Promotion any day now, look
The more you slave away now, uh
Your weekly debt, your credit check,
Look, look at what you get, at what you get,
You did the best you could with what you had, man!

(Chorus)
In my mind, we won't have much time, if we wait too long
Driving around, nowhere to be found, fading away from it all
