Lyrics
Got my Bachelor’s, got my Master’s,
I got my Doctorate, yes I’m a go-getter
Cocaine and caviar, oh I’m bona fide
An old man says, “Buy you a scotch son?
When I was young I used to buy it by the case.
But here’s to the new face!
Here’s to the rat race!
Here’s to thirty years in my briefcase!
Get your hands up
Don’t keep your mouth shut
Forget the precedent
Break that shit up
Got your new ride, the company ride!
And oh boy you’ll get your rhythm
But are you driving? Were you ever driving?
Or are you being driven?
Here’s your limousine with your chauffeur, sir
They make you feel like you’re in control
With a secretary and your stock options
But then they’ll swallow you whole
Get your hands up
Don’t keep your mouth shut
Forget the precedent
Break that shit up
There was a time when the world was mine
If I just stayed on track
When I answered the call, I wanted it all
But now I just want it all back
Now you’re a fine man, but I was a fine man
And you won’t know what’s started until it’s done
Your decisions are not your decisions
Because they come from above
The only question you’ll ever be asking is
If you’re so smart, how can you be so dumb?
Education and your wall of degrees
But have you taken Plea Bargain 101?
Get your hands up
Don’t keep your mouth shut
Forget the precedent
Break that shit up
There was time when the world was mine
If I just stayed on track
When I answered the call, I wanted it all
But now I just want it all back”
