lyrics

They'll never take me alive.
Don't want any part of this
numb number-crunching 9 to 5,
slouching toward complacency.
They say jump, you say, 'From how high?'
Hate your life, but say everything's fine.

But my run of the diploma mill
sure won't pay for itself.
They say go where the money is.
All I know is it's someplace else.
Seems like it's all been planned this way -
in a buyer's market, you've got to sell yourself.

Now, I just look back & laugh.
Funny how we change with time.
Used to make molehills mountain-sized,
but I can tell you - everything's fine.
