Dear Old Friend
(cj sorg)


Dear old friend I haven't called you in awhile
Cause I'm ashamed of where I am
We used to dream about our flamboyant lifestyle
But that's not near to where I am

I'm overworked and underpaid
But I just stay here thinking
Someday it will soon be better

It's like they sucked me in
And I just grin and bear it thinking
Someday it will soon be better

But who am I kidding
I can't even get a raise
I bust my ass for nothing
it's like my life is out-of-phase

You used to call me a foolish young man
Now I know that that was true
What was I thinking when I thunk-up this game plan
This is not what I wanted to do

I'm overworked and underpaid
But I just stay here thinking
Someday it will soon be better

It's like they sucked me in
And I just grin and bear it thinking
Someday it will soon be better

But who am I kidding
I can't even get a raise
I bust my ass for nothing
it's like my life is out-of-phase

[solo]

I'm burning up I'm burning out
I'm in the middle of a creative drought
I should've been a doctor - what is your bood type
If I'd been a plumber I'd have crack in my pipe

Dear old friend I haven't called you in awhile
Cause I'm ashamed of where I am
I'm sure you've got some kind of crazy lifestyle
But that's not near to where I am

I'm overworked and underpaid
But I just stay here thinking
Someday it will soon be better
