Nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah
Waved goodbye to all your friends
When you made it big
Got a big ol' desk and a door
With your name engraved on it (on it, on it)
You're never satisfied
Unless you're chomping at the bit (oh yeah)
You've got the keys to a penthouse suite
With an ice-cold bed in it
When you're least expecting it
Maybe somewhere down the line
Life will catch up to you sometime
Nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah
Got a gold wristwatch and stocks in bio-fuel, ooh
Yeah, you're making it rain
But the flood's gonna soak ya through (oh yeah)
That dry champagne can leave a bitter taste (bitter taste)
Oh, when you're back in your college digs
Eating macaroni off a paper plate
When you're least expecting it
Maybe somewhere down the line
Life will catch up to you sometime
Nah nah, nah nah nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah (oh, oh yeah)
When it's all plain sailing
When your feet don't touch the ground
That's when your life comes back around, yeah
So careful when you climb the ladder
'Cause you don't know how high it goes
It's lonely at the top or so the saying goes
Lost your trust fund and that trophy wife
Her smile never hid the fact
She wanted much more out of life
And everyone that you chewed up to feed your appetite (appetite)
Oh, safe to say you're a castaway
In your lonely paradise
I bet you weren't expecting it
Buddy, now it's the end of the line
Life has caught up to you this time, oh, yeah
Whoa, life has caught up to you this time
Whoa, life has caught up to you this time, yeah
Whoa, life has caught up to you this time
Whoa, life has caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up to you
Whoa, life has caught up to you this time
