Hard working man, he's got his hopes set high |
|
The city pays him so the rich don't cry, his |
|
Practice of settlement will keep their pockets full, but |
|
There in the end he never got used to it |
|
Sometimes I feel like I wanna die |
|
It's starting up |
|
I'm sure that I'll get used to anything but this |
|
And all the wait-and-see's |
|
They never really came to me |
|
Should I hide-and-seek? |
|
My mother taught me not to cheat |
|
Oh, would you shut him up? |
|
Oh, would you please shut up? |
|
'Cause I'm starting up |
|
Upstart, you know I'm down |
|
For anything I've missed |
|
Now it's starting to get old and he's getting pretty tired |
|
Only living his life on the sunny side |
|
He's got a real sweet lady, gonna soon make her his wife |
|
But this money-making mindset has put a thorn in his side, you know |
|
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna cry |
|
It's starting up |
|
Not sure that I'll get used to anything like this |
|
And all the wait-and-see's |
|
They never really came to me |
|
Should I hide-and-seek? |
|
My brothers taught me how to cheat |
|
Oh, did I |
|
Oh, would you shut him up? |
|
Oh, would you please shut up? |
|
'Cause I'm starting up |
|
Upstart, you know I'm down |
|
For anything I've missed |
|
Whoa-oh, would you shut him up? |
|
Oh, would you please shut up? |
|
'Cause I'm starting up |
|
Upstart, you know I'm down |
|
For anything I've missed |
|
He says, "I miss those days when the going was easy |
|
Got a soda in my hand and my pocketbook's empty" |
|
Says, "I wanna go to heaven, but I ain't in a hurry |
|
Love the land and all we fools and know that God is my witness" |
|
Sometimes I feel I can't get started up |
|
Left my heart in my stomach so I feel ill everyday |
|
The wait-and-see's |
|
They never really came to me |
|
Should I hide-and-seek? |
|
My brothers taught me how to cheat |
|
We are the fools and we're running this town |
|
So let's listen to Bob Dylan and watch the walls falling down |
|
Right now! |
|
Oh, would you shut him up? |
|
Oh, would you please shut up? |
|
'Cause I'm starting up |
|
Upstart, you know I'm down |
|
For anything I've missed |
|
Right now! |
|
Oh, would you shut him up? |
|
Oh, would you please shut up? |
|
'Cause I'm starting up |
|
Upstart, you know I'm down |
|
For anything I've missed |
|
Yeah! |
