Upstate Escape - The Network

Welcome to thrills,
Politics and pills
Youre running like a gerbil
Round the Ivy League wheel
You loved it until
You got stuck with the bill
I know just how you feel

So don me now a three-piece suit
Enter the room
Sipping Vermuth
Cuz though competence
May be relevant
The soft skills and hard liquor
Always get the job quicker

Tic, tac, and toe
I stack the fat cats in a row
Its a one-man chit-chat show
So here we go

Wave and say hello
Just for the show
And backtrack to the abstract
When nothings all youve got
And baby nothings all I got
For you
But I can play the game smooth
From the handshake
Straight to the awkward pause
Cuz Ill be
Workin through the network

Its all in your head
Racism is dead
See, even dogs are colorblind,
Mr. Executive
But I can be your poster child
Yeah, I can make it worth your while
Cuz I still pledge allegiance
To the flag
And tools like me
For which it stands
Red, white, and blue
But in the truth, were green on the inside

Tic, tac, and toe
I just shat on the status quo
So take back what you think you know
And let it go

Money cant bring happiness
But it might be a catalyst
So I wont go away until Im through
Saying what you want me to
And taking what I need from you
Im on the move
So get out of my way
