They Shuttin Doors Right In My FaceAnd Sittin High Horse Is A Car And A Dope PlaceSomethin To Die For, This Is My War, So[chorus]Now I'm Schemin On Plots To Make My Pockets SwellSimple Livin Is A ***** But Damn, I Do It WellSome Are Fortunate To Make It And, Some Of 'em FailSome Locomotives Push Through And Some Of 'em Get DerailedSchemin On Plots - Hey, HeySimple Livin Is A ***** - Hey, HeySome Are Fortunate To Make It - Hey, HeySome Locomotors Push Through - Hey, Hey[verse Two]I Lead A Crocodile Mile Lifestyle, I Run And SlideBut When It's Time To Collide With The Bump, I Always BailCause I'm Not Ready For That Dive Or That Silly Nine To FiveSolidified Career Option, A Hop Skip And A LeapAway From Rock Star, And Not Too Far Away From Fillin Pop's ShoesThe Idyllic Hard Workin Type Of Calloused HandsComplete With Wife, Kids, Dog, House, And Picket Fence, That's NonsenseI'm Convinced I'm Built For Better ThingsAnd Won't Settle For The Empty Smile That Cheddar BringsIt Seems Like I'm Workin Hard Simply Cause It's What They Say I Have To DoYou Graduate And Then You Either Get A Job, Or You Go To School12 Years Wasn't Enough?That's More Than Half Of My Life Spent Tryin To Make The World Accept MePlus I've Got The Papers Saying That I Made It ThroughNow I'm Working 2 Jobs, 3 With Music And You Don't Respect Me?***** It I'll Retire Now, You'll Work Until You're 62, And[chorus][whistling Until Beat Stops]
