lyrics

All dressed up with a suit and tie
There’s starch in his collar and cash in his eye
And he believes he’ll never die

He takes his first step by telling a lie
Soon his liberty they will buy.
Soon Peter Pan can no longer fly.

Climbing up to the world
All possibilities have been unfurled.
It’s sure hard to find peace of mind
When you’re always stuck in a grind.

He’s not the same man he used to be.
He’s overly suspicious of anything free.
He’ll take you to court for a five dollar fee.

Finally there with the CEOs
Is this the lifestyle that he chose?
Soon he’s busted for giving advice
And now he’s in jail with the rats and the mice.

It’s like a whirlpool sucking you in.
You feel like a fish as you spin and spin.

You’re raised a rebel until you learn
That you use every cent that you ever will earn.

Is that enough? Does that do it for you?
Say goodbye to compassion and hello déjà vu.
