got a brand new car
 you're willing -- and able
 to make a lifetime scar
 got two point two five daughters
 can't remember their middle names
 the days fly by like a long cold winter
 pretty soon they all look the same
 grey slacks, grey shirt, grey tie
 grey all around
 livin in a corporate shanty town
 life is like cable
 but you only watch CNN
 if this sounds like a modern fable
 then it's time for the story to end
 flip around and find another station
 channel after channel -- boredom is rife
 when you hear the message crackle through
 "i've never done a thing i've wanted in my life"
 [chorus]
 when you're out doing whatcha gotta do
 wifey's at home yellin
 "honey honey honey honey"
 and when you come home
 wifey is blue from screaming her demands for
 "money money money money"
 deep down it's time for a change
 but habits and love are hard things to break
 when the two are braided into one your vision is strange
 so do you stick with what you know for sanity's sake?
 [chorus
