A high self-esteem and vast sense of entitlement

We want stimulating and secure jobs that pay well with lots of free and untaxed health benefits
Yes, and my devotion to my children should be at least a partial criteria for my promotions
We need lots of leisure time to share with our families free from nagging financial worries
Don’t want OUR lives to be totally dominated by such boring demands as work and money

Have to be able to focus on pleasure-seeking and still be pushed up that organization
We should remain in line for fat bonuses without sacrificing our wired online souls
Our precious children shall remain as the first and most important priority of our lives
Wont sacrifice social networking for overly-long periods of like, focused concentration

Striving to fulfill ourselves with an unending list of quickly-forgotten adventure vacations
Still balancing work against life even though our jobs are so quickly being offshored, forever
We demand that we be accommodated - Even as they have us train our 3rd world replacements
More fast-food family time in front of corpro-entertainment is what nurtures our spirits

We need space to assimilate the fractal twittering in which we have immersed ourselves
More and more we choose to chat online over struggling with whatever project schedules
A high self-esteem and vast sense of entitlement ensure that we maintain a proper focus
We need to balance this work life with high CO2 emission trips to extreme sports venues

The Music is important and streaming services are setting us free from tired office slavery
Just got to have an investment home but there’s no time to try and learn to take care of it
Looking for more, over the screaming kids and squawking media during our own free time
We demand a richly rewarding sex life, colorful entertainment and a good night’s sleep

Need time to shuttle children to and fro and it better not be held against me by the boss
Quite happy using a negative savings rate for all the best in life, which we so richly deserve
They simply must keep increasing our benefits without ever mentioning any higher taxes
No way are we letting our short and precious time here be frittered away on trivial jobs

If they expect me to learn some lame new skills they better be paying me to do it from home
Going to free up some home gaming time nuking instant dinners and setting paper plates
Look, my kids and family are what’s important but I’ll sue if I don’t get the raise he does
You might be my boss, yet I answer only to my personal savior during our private dialogs

You best care for Mother and insure my kids without some death panel healthcare takeover
Won’t fret over the fine print technical details if there’s a catchy sound bite available
Gotta balance my tired job, sullen offspring and lying greasy politicians with hyped media events
Looking for more than being a veal calf in some prairie dog cube farm, even if it’s in hi-def 3D

Went to a couple yoga classes and got a few cotton shopping bags around here somewhere
Wont see me end up eating and draining thru tubes that are changed out by low-paid immigrants
Eyeing a 300 hp hybrid and thinking about subsidized solar on top of my un-insulated roof
Looking way beyond the mundane rat race almost every Sunday down at our mega-church

So, you can tell I do see there’s so much more to life and that I carefully balance, Having It All
