Todd Snider - Stuck On The Corner (Prelude To A Heart Attack) lyrics

Snider They named that God damn kiss a** handleman Vice President of human resources or something He stood up and made a speech about how we would all have to work even harder now I thought: 'Harder now ? Harder at what ?' I would give up anything to get up and walk out of here but .. I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe You ought to hear the sh** that I get from my daughter She says that she can't stand the sight of the car I bought her I ruined her life forever, she don't ride a rag top Her and her mother spend my money pretty much non stop They're trying to break me for the sake of the neighborhood They want everybody up and down the street to think we're doing good We're stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe I didn't even want to study economics My parents made me because they said it would be practical I can't make my kid do a god damn thing I tell him to That kid's an unrepentant radical He is as unimpressed by these plaques in my cubicle As I am secretly impressed with his ability To look at everything so completely irresponsibly I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe You know now I have to call that little pecker Mr. Handleman Drove home from work as mad I had ever been And then I nearly jerked that kid out of a drive-through window He said : 'Will that be everything ?'- I said : 'Hey, what would you know ?' 'You're looking at a man about to buy his kid a rag top' 'What are you driving, a bicycle you little punk ?' I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe We're making so much money we can hardly breathe We're making so much money we can hardly breathe
