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

It's All Good Bro


The former Precious Phildren
Arrived late and unaware of what I should have already done
Smashed up somebody’s car without any money or insurance
Lost the paperwork for that other real important application
It’s all good

Shrunk the girlfriend’s favorite sweater small enough to fit a doll
Drove the car with squeaking brakes until they could not be fixed
Dropped beer cans, butts and wrappers all over and then we drove away
It’s all good

Moved to another rental, left a mess and didn’t pay the utilities
Stayed up ‘til 4 with music blaring, through the neighbor’s windows
Plastered my beater with plastic decals, broke down, then walked away
It’s all good

Lived on fast food and froot-loops and forgot to take out the trash
Financed my life on credit cards and invested in gaming equipment
Partied at college for a few years and almost got a worthless degree
It’s all good

Proved myself incompetent at work though regularly late and often sick
Did not finish some lame project that others were depending on
Tried to do a trick on some extreme toy and shattered my wrist
It’s all good

Got fat before I got old while laughing at my parents from the couch
Paid hundreds for my shoes and left them carelessly, somewhere behind
Got all my term papers from some website and dude, I never even read them
It’s all good

Went off to California to become a trick pro snowboarder
Crept back to mommie’s house next spring with a bent and broken shoulder
Bought a crotch rocket on credit and the very first day I lost it on a curve
It’s all good

Had no money for the dentist until my tooth really started hurting
Had two bad temporary jobs and learned to talk an imitation blues
Got an iPod, a cell phone and a gaming laptop but I really hate to read
It’s all good

I’m off the Ritalin and Prozac that my parents forced on me for years
Now I calm my self with shooters and self-medicate with BC bud
I can really skateboard if your company has an opening
It’s all good

The doors don’t work on my car but my speakers cost 500 each
Not into history and all that shit that happened back like in the ‘60s
Looking for more out of life than what my parents expect from me
It’s all good

Despite reality, we retain our positive self images and play well together
Got a couple STDs and maybe a little brain damage from X and the huffing
Looking for my own path in life and volunteering at a Meth lab
It’s all good

Don’t have a need to do the math and I don’t carry any books
Stimulated my brain with Grand Theft and that badass Puff Daddy
I’m really quite alert even though my eyes remain cast down and closed
It’s all good

Left my messes in the kitchen until my roommates all raged
Put the garbage in the yard and then the dogs spread it all around
Cigarettes can’t really hurt me and it’s ok to stay out in the sun
It’s all good

Lost my driver’s license last year at some big rave party
Left home but hooked up with Jerry’s kids to follow Phish all around
Into instant messaging and Twitter keeps me in touch with reality
It’s all good

Went to private school and had my own tutor so everybody sees I’m special
Dyed my hair and pierced my navel and put tattoos on my tongue
Sleeping late and then eating heavily is the way to start the day
It’s all good

Shared music files and network gaming are raising my consciousness
Ordering takeout Thai from my support job saves me time to tweet
Drove the other car my dad gave me until it wouldn’t go no more
It’s all good

Don’t know how the old people got so fat and bald and slow
Spend my time on couches killing electronic thugs and monsters
My friend said her dad’s computer had a virus right after we just used it
It’s all good

I’ve got good taste in food and make $11 an hour on the phone with losers
Sold my guitar amp on eBay but never got the money
It’s like, hey, whatever, just because I can’t find Somfukinstan on a map
It’s all good
