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
|

Simple As That
