Driving |
| Seems like yesterday you first started |
| As a rodeo cowboy in the big bull market |
| As the enterprise culture reached its pinnacle |
| Driven by an upbeat privatized miracle |
| Life is hard, though and times are leaner |
| For the banker, the broker and the window cleaner |
| And nobody’s straw’s shorter than yours |
| As the cuts get tougher and the streets get meaner |
| When the dividend of a divided nation |
| Is stepping over bodies in the underground station |
| The just rewards of the high and haughty |
| Are the P-45 and the UB40 |
| In a downward spiral with zero option |
| You’re fleeced in a deal of your own concoction |
| As the panic grows you suddenly know how it feels |
| As the boss says 'We're letting you go now' |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
| So hang up your braces and your paisley tie |
| You’ve lost your shirt, now you’re wondering why |
| Your fairweather friends have all disowned you |
| And only your banker and the bailliffs phone you |
| Repossessing everything they burst the bubble, you |
| Hand back the keys to your BMW, |
| Lose your home with the sky high loan |
| And the lows on the Dow Jones cease to trouble you |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
| Well maybe you could lecture on management structure |
| Or work part time as a driving instructor |
| But the business college is undersubscribed |
| And the motoring school’s on an economy drive |
| You become a expert in adversity |
| Enrolled in the Hard Knocks University |
| Students everywhere beg and borrow, now |
| Praying they can pay it all back tomorrow, now |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
| Ain’t gonna be in that driving seat no more |
