You need a good job to get going
And find yourself the steady way cause nothing's ever going to be the same
You need a good chest to be blowing
Through sorrow and despair no one said it would have been fair
Of course you need a good degree a smile on your face and a tie to set you free
You have a smile for everyone
So they can buy what you can sell you're going to teach them just what they're going to have
You need a place to call your own
Then find yourself a girl who's going to take the pain that you deserve
When she's in your bed at night you keep your lover's number by your side
You need the best school for the kids you need a good grave for when you're going to leave
