I hated working in finance. So I wrote a song about it.
lyrics
Verse 1
With cream in his coffee and a blue necktie
He’s sure to stun you with a white collar lie
Often I realize that I’m more than tired
I’m overcaffeinated and underinspired
Chorus
Countin’ dollars and common sense
Still waitin’ on my recompense
No grand facade, no false pretense
It all comes down to dollars and sense
Verse 2
His tired yawns and disgruntled sighs are
A perfect accessory for his disguise
I get the urge sometimes to misbehave
It might be a “man’s world,” but it’s a woman’s game
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I show up early, and I work hard
Show off a little leg, and work my charm
I hope that I can finally break the ceiling and be free
But I don't think this kind of life was ever meant for me
