Welcome to the world of the modern youth.
Early in the morning and I'm up out the door
Working for a living is becoming a chore
Painting on a face
To masquerade my thoughts
And I know you never listen when I tell you the truth
About the education of the modern youth but I hope
Maybe someday soon we'll get away to a better place
And live the high life
Somewhere in the limelight
Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money
And we'll talk highlights
Of spending a lifetime
Conquering hard times from 9 to 5
Early in the morning on the top shop floor
Everybody working in a top shop store
Painting on a face to masquerade their thoughts
And you know I never listen when you tell me the truth
About the mindset of the modern youth
But I hope, maybe someday soon we'll get away to a better place
And live the high life
Somewhere in the limelight
Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money
And we'll talk highlights
Of spending a lifetime
All conquering hard times from 9 to 5
So call your friends and let them know
There's more to live than getting old and regretting it
But I'm trying hard to let it show cause my
Conscience left me long ago and I'm holding on
To live the high life
Somewhere in the limelight
Somewhere where it ain't so scummy and we bathe in money
And we'll talk highlights
Of spending a lifetime
All conquering hard times from 9 to 5.
