When the go-go 90's came crashing down we learned the meaning of "irrational exhuberance". Now we're concerned about saving Social Security instead of early retirement.
You played the game
The rules have changed
It's not the same
No one to blame
Just when you think
You've got it made
The work all done
The dues all paid
Do not pass go
Do not collect
Your dreams all spent
Your plans all wrecked
Those roads traveled
Those places been
I'm getting too old
To start again
You set your course
You raised your voice
Better or worse
You made your choice
No way to walk out
No way to quit
Got to keep going
Got to fight it
Two steps ahead
One step back
Pressure keeps building
Until you crack
No time to rest
No time to cry
Just keep on pushing
Till you lay down and die
