Lyrics
Perfect Life
Bills on the floor that won't get paid
Wet through the wall and carpet's faded
A job that sucks and a man that's gone
These days are gold these nights are long
Chorus
I was gonna live a perfect life
Gonna be a perfect wife
And raise the perfect family
Make my daddy proud of me
Gonna make a dream come true
Gonna have a kid or two
Gonna raise the perfect family
Make my mother cry for me
Kids on the street and a life that's a bore
The people that I meet are worth ignoring, that's right
If I could get a break I'd buy a little place
Spend a lot of cash put powder on my face, you know what I mean
Chorus
I'm gonna go to a rich man's land
With a little self respect and an open hand
A smile and a laugh and a friendly shout
Then I'm in through the window when they go out
Back to my friends that I knew from school
Kick up the place yeah act like fools
No one in my face try to push me down
Yeah I'm living for this day when this dream comes round
Chorus
I lived my life and made my choice
Maybe I should have listened to the voice in my mind
And the next man that tells me to give it a try
Can kiss my butt and wave it goodbye
Chorus
