Career, well you give all your time but it ain't enough
Career, and then they tax your ass off and really make it rough
You get up in the morning and you go downtown
Pretty soon you realize it's getting' you down
Got a job in construction got a job in sales
Got a bunch of pinheads biting at your tails
Career, well you give all your energy but it ain't enough
Career, then they tax your ass off and really make it rough
Come home catatonic from a 12-hour day
The commute and the traffic, enough to make you stray
To a 3 drink lunch and some beers after work
The more they take, the more you hurt
Career, well you give all your time but it ain't enough
Career, and then they tax your ass off and really make it rough (So rough)
Hope against hope someday they'll give ya the biz
You get an idea and the boss says it's his
They lock up your heart and they buy your soul
And you live your whole life on remote control
Career- oh well it's all you ever ever really wanted to do
Career, where did your dreams go and what do you want to do?
Well it's a cut- throat life and it's a laugh a year
It's time to turn and protect your rear
It's time to decide what you really want to do
And get the other guy 'fore he gets you
Career, well you give all your time but it ain't enough
And then they tax your ass off and really make it rough
What do you want to do, time to make a decision. What's your career?
