Rat Race-Work In Progress

Parents control what their kids are taught It's not a matter of them wanting to or not Go to school and get a job That's how people pay bills on these blocks Get married and have a kid That's what everyone I knew did While working full time Stressing and counting every dime Vacations on credit cards Outfits for sports and leotards Payments for the SUV or Chevy Malibu Could live in a smaller house Status would be demoted it you moved Taco Tuesdays cause Mondays are crazy Wed thru Fridays insane so weekends are lazy Exercise? When I have the chance I'll want to when I can't fit these pants Why am I overweight and tired? Cause I'm working overtime so I don't get fired Cycle goes round and round Not forever though, In 30 years I'll retire.....? This is a work in progress.
