So you've become the vice president of  x,y,z incorporated
We'll that don't mean much to me

Oh I know you've worked so hard to increase your social status
Even at the expence of the love of your family

Oh yeah but that's ok I hear the corporation you run is doing well
And the shares that it bought in uranium and oil are beginning to swell

And you're nearly there man, you're nearly there, nearly at the top
And the roll that you've modelled will ensure the cycle doesn't stop

And it's been going on for so long it's infected all of us
And it drips from our credit cards like a boil oozing .... puss

Chorus;

Well I think you know what is right but you continue to do wrong
If you could only find your true self I'd feel no need to sing this song
There's no need to sing this song

harmonica instrumental;

Now I was you when I was younger and I too didn't understand
When my goal was for my wallet not my mind to expand

But something happened along the way and I learned to listen
We can not sustain the way we live this was my lesson

And we're borrowing from our grandkids it's they who will have to pay
Cause the earth is going nowehere it's us who's going away

I know I'm not perfect but as hard as I can I'm gonna try
I think that we can change it's not too late we don't have to say goodbye

But you are an addict a junkie it's plain to see
You're addicted to money that is spewed from corporation x,y,z
