You go to work, work hard all day At the end of the week, you collect your pay That's just where it's at It's as simple as that You pay your bills the best that you can But the rising cost sure hurts a family man While the rich man gets fat It's as simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny Your mind's made up to get that house on the hill But you just don't know if you ever will Because you can't get the cash It's as simple as that Cause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan Without putting a morgage on all that you own A tit for a tat It's a simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny Before you know it the kids are all grown And married off with kids of their own And it's all in the past It's as simple as that You've reached the autumn of your life And all that's left is you and your wife And a dog and a cat It's as simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny
