Babbitt Lyrics - Singles - 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]
