The Way You Think About Things

Trouble with the money trouble with the brew
trouble with the citizen sitting next to you
trouble with your auto trouble with your boss
trouble with the friends you’ve made
trouble with the time you’ve lost

The way you think about things
it's all that holds you down
You’ve got to walk these streets
like you own this town

No one sees your progress no one sees your pain
no one sees you pull into the right hand lane
gotta pay those bills gotta push that broom
gotta learn to work the parking meter baby
before you learn to work the room

The way you think about things
it's all that holds you down
You’ve got to walk these streets
like you own this town

Walk these streets like you own
Walk these streets like you own this town

Your neighbor hit the big time
you got her apartment and you hit the skids
the world’s in the way you’re quick to say
oh me oh my they got me again
So you lie around the beach
commiserating with the dead end kids
it’s hardly the way of the wiseacres and the warriors
we thought you were on to them

The captains of industry are very busy men
they don’t need you until you don’t need them
you’re either crying in the shower or you're laughing in the sun
there is no negotiation the deal is done

The way you think about things
the way you think about things
the way you think about things

Think about things
think about things
think about things
