Took two full-time jobs to afford me a new used car
And these impulse Louboutins are still accruin' on my credit card
But I'll look like a million bucks sittin' in the very front pew
Hopin' my Sunday best gets me mother-in-law approved
Yeah we spend our lives workin' long hard hours
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
All this keepin' up with the Joneses got me
Climbin' the ladder of debt
So I learn the return policy and leave the tag on the dress
Cause once you take your piddly paycheck
And subtract your healthcare plan
Then it's fifty percent for gas and rent and
The rest goes to Uncle Sam
Yeah we spend our lives workin' long hard hours
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
Yeah we spend our lives workin' long hard hours
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
♪
Yeah nothin' gets me more down than to have to suck up to the boss
High expectations come with a high cost
But I like to fancy myself a cat runnin' in this rat race
I'll take a pat on the back a slap on the ass
Hey whatever it takes, I'm gonna get that raise
Yeah we spend our lives workin' long hard hours
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
Yeah we spend our lives workin' long hard hours
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
Yeah we spend our lives
Workin' our manicures to the bone
To buy the things to impress the people that we don't like
