Lateral Climb

(album: Truth - 2007)

The sun heats up another working day
Coffee, tea, and I'm on my way
Try to beat the traffic
And maybe yesterdays time
Try to make a little progress
In what's looking like a lateral climb

Put behind me, my spendthrift ways
And I've made more money than I did in those days
Used to carry a debt of twenty grand
(bankin kind?)
And I've still got nothing
It's lookin like a lateral climb

Our leader's addicted
To oil and war
Says it's freedom that we're fighting for
Applause, applause
For bald face white collar crime
And they leave you stranded
Believing in a lateral climb

The sun heats up another working day
Coffee, tea, and I'm on my way
What once was a dollar
Is looking more like a dime
Heads up people
It's nothing but a lateral climb
A lateral climb
