You try to go to sleep
Maybe once or twice a week
But it really doesn’t matter if you’re up or down
The weatherman’s had his say
But he didn’t want to give the game away
So he leaves you guessing and you don’t know why
And if you’re friends could see you now
They’d never believe it
They’d just say you got above yourself
It was only a matter of time
You go from town to town
With nobody close around you
And you sit and look for something new to say
But you can’t and it gets you down
So you keep your feet firmly on the ground
And you see through all the bullshit cause they’ll take it away
And if your friends could see you now
They’d never believe you
They’d just say you got above yourself
It was only a matter of time
Do you wine
Do you dine
Oh yeah I do it all the time
It’s so nice to be nice
Especially when you can afford the asking price
You don’t laugh
You don’t care
You’ve got the makings of a millionaire
So how does it feel to be on top of the world
You said you’d paint me a picture
So go on paint it for me now
You said you’d show me the way forward
Show me how to get out
You want to be a football player
You’ve got to be in a band
You’ve got to do something before it all gets out of hand
But you’ve got your education
And that’s alright for you
So go on get out there and show me what you’re degrees can do
You want to be an astronaut
But it’s too underpaid
So instead you’ll just sit home and slowly fade away
And if you’re friends could see you now
They’d never believe you
They’d just say you got above yourself
It was only a matter of time
