lyrics

I was heading down the road to fame and fortune
Or so they told me when they sold me the degree
Bust your ass for about a generation
And one day you will have the life, you'll see

But you and I we don't need to make it rain
If we had it our way we'd spend
A little less money and a little more time
Just chasing us some rhymes
So we tucked and rolled off that speeding train
And backed out of that dead end
Threw out the ladder, rolled the dice
Yeah we traded it all for a simple life

I don't know why but when you're on that road
Everyone tries to keep you in the lines
And keep you buying what they have sold
Like you're on the production line

[ chorus ]

But every time that I found myself asking
Is this what living is for?
Will I be satisfied when I'm laying in the casket
Or would I have wanted more?

[ chorus ]
