I got you a job in the city now, ooh
But what you want isn't what you found, such a frown
We're taking the bus and you're going downtown, ooh
But you tried to burn this opportunity down, to the ground

So sorry, so sad
You've got it so bad
Your friends are, in the band
Still playing

I got you a job in the city now, ooh
Slaving all day for your pennies now, should be proud

When I was young the sweat fell off of my brow
Got me a car and I bought me a house
When I was younger, I had it all figured out
And now that you're older, there should never be a doubt
I want you to notice
I want you to notice
I want you to know just what I've done for you
I want you to notice
I want you to notice
I want you to know just what I've done for you

So sorry, so sad
You've got it so bad
Your friends are, in the band
Still playing

I got you a job in the city now, ooh
It's time to come down from the top of that cloud, come on down
You're punching the clock for twenty odd years now, ooh
Above and beyond, but still on the ground, take a bow

You got it, you're in
You're sellin' your skin
Goodbye to, the boys
Put away, the toys
