lyrics

Do you recognize me?
I've been serving you for years
And now my knees are shot
My back creaks like a hinge
I don't own a suit
I've got this nasty fear of ties
But these golden handcuffs they gave me sure fit nice
You know, they fixed my ankle when it turned black and blue
They straightened out my teeth, gave me stock options too
I know your money is dirty sir, it's so filthy dirty
But what's a boy to do? Tell me what is a boy to do?

And if I had a choice I would surely speak my mind
Except when I'm on the clock I don't got any rights
I'm just a dog on a chain, I'm trapped and on display
I'm subject to your abuse and at your mercy everyday
But don't feel bad for me
I'm the one who chose this life
I ain't got no degree and I've asked traveling to be my wife
SHE SAID
of course "I DO"
But there is so much to sacrifice
So I gave back those handcuffs
Now everything is alright
We're alright, yeah everything is fine
