Making The Noveau Riche
(Indisponível)
you say I have to get a real life
but I'm not sure how that in making
someone or other rich
is any more real than making
a niche for yourself
well i'm without a zack, a truth
a coin, a kopeck
or an elusive brass razoo
but my dear rationalist
don't dream i couldn't care
i too grow quickly bored
of the clothes i wear so maybe
i should go an get a real life
real like cutting a fine figure
or scraping a deposit together
for if, heaven forbid
just suppose i cannot live
on taxes and goodwill forever
but how is it
that the problem just doesn't seem to press
while my fingers are themselves
pressing hard against the neck
i was sure that i'd suffered
and worked as hard
as anyone I knew
well it seems i haven't
i better damn well fix it and
make it look every inch as though i do
but still
i'll have to go and get a real life
no doubt that it will happen
maybe i've put it off for too long now
gonna see if i can't get something better than a...
maybe i'm amidst of a real life...
