hey hello
hey hello
what do you say?
how is it that you've come this way?
do you have dreams to try?
or is it just a superficial lie
that comes and slowly goes?
as false as water
pure as snow
such a dreary light
unless you turn around the frightful sight
of work one sunny day
perspective lost by business ways
my mind has gone amiss
is this a cure for happiness?
i'll drink my 3 martini lunch
and brave the economic crunch
i'll take it all in stride
the kids, the wife, the lousy lies
from bureaucratic idiots
who mold me anyway they wish
and lose me in their files
laughing out loud all the while
and each and every sunday
you'll pay homage to your god
and none will realize that it's
sweet surrender in a fog
so you can take the job and take the money
and girl i'd love to take you honey
to sweet yesterday
and so your life goes day to day
a little work
a little play
and no one really cares
until you see those greying hairs
and suddenly you start to see your life
go by impatiently
and soon your time is up
and your drinking from an empty cup
you wish you hadn't wished away your life
and shunned the sunny days
now it's much too late
it wasnt't fate
