Moving Up
(专辑: The Quickening - 1996)
Hey mom, it's been fantastic since I'm on my own At first it seemed so drastic when you and dad threw me out I
got my act together and learned what life's all about Now I'm self reliant I
can hold my own Moving up Lookout Got me a
job, at a
food service place I'm making four-fifty and things are going great I'm cleaning toilets, making fries but in a
couple of years Your least favorite son could make the
manager Don't need no education, forget about a
college I've got the
motivation, I've got the
knowledge I'll work my way slowly up the
food service ladder And prove to my new family here I
really matter Moving up Lookout Here I
come Moving up I
hate to jinx my chances if it's too soon to speak But there has been some talk, I
could be worker of the
week They'll give me half price lunches and my own parking space If I
ever get a
car that's icing on the
cake Moving up Lookout Here I
come I'm doing great I
may share a
one room place with seven other strangers With bugs and drugs and several other dangers But I
command the
dinner shift, and when depressed I
think the
four F's Friends, fun, fast-food, flexible hours Got me a
job and I
got me a
plan You said I
was a
mess up but I
proved that I'm a
man I'm here surviving and I
did my own way Mom and Dad I
wish that you could see me today I'm moving up Lookout Here I
come Got a
raise Moving up Lookout Here I
come Doing good
