lyrics

how many times do I have to tell you
the good life isn't free
educate yourself or sell yourself
or just stay here with me

I can give you a heart that's true
something old, that's nothing new
I can show you riches galore, for
somebody else we gotta leave him at the door

now is the time to make up your mind
to settle or to flee
elevate yourself, sell yourself
or go with number three

I never promised you the impossible
the pay is bad and the hours are terrible
that leaves us with the merely improbable
a thing that could be so much more valuable

when it's time to hit rewind
to find out what went wrong
we may see that the answer lies
within this very song

I never promised you the impossible
the pay is bad, the hours are terrible
that leaves us with the merely improbable
a thing that could be so much more valuable
