Babbitt - 3 Minute Hero

food on the table 
got a brand new car 
you're willing -- and able 
to make a lifetime scar 
got two point two five daughters 
can't remember their middle names 
the days fly by like a long cold winter 
pretty soon they all look the same 
grey slacks, grey shirt, grey tie 
grey all around 
livin in a corporate shanty town 
life is like cable 
but you only watch CNN 
if this sounds like a modern fable 
then it's time for the story to end 
flip around and find another station 
channel after channel -- boredom is rife 
when you hear the message crackle through 
"i've never done a thing i've wanted in my life" 
[chorus] 
when you're out doing whatcha gotta do 
wifey's at home yellin 
"honey honey honey honey" 
and when you come home 
wifey is blue from screaming her demands for 
"money money money money" 
deep down it's time for a change 
but habits and love are hard things to break 
when the two are braided into one your vision is strange 
so do you stick with what you know for sanity's sake? 
[chorus]
