Crashdog - Career lyrics

rate me

hey there missy what's that on your mind?

i see you tossed out all your papers and gotten out of line

you wanna throw your life away looking for a sign

think of all you're risking just to have a spine

(chorus)

they talk, they talk, they talk, they talk

they shove it in our ears

they say you gotta feed your dreams

to the jaded beast, career

but when you're sitting at the helm

of some misguided corperate plot

you'll not know what victory is

you'll know what it's not

come here sonny we like to start 'em young

you gotta rise above the rest, you must be number one

i still remember the words my wise pappy said to me

"i've no time for play, child, work's my destiny"

wake up mom and dad, can't you understand?

would you rather have your children under the command

of some grinding oncler with another thneed

or living unrespectably for what they believe?

(chorus)

now i believe in hard work, fingers to the bone

but it's gotta be for more than just my greed alone

or even worse than that, empowering some suit

i'd like to see the love of money underneath my boot
