4You know he thinks he's got it so good

17Well there's a young man, in a tee-shirt 
18listening to a rockin' rollin' station 
19He's got greasy hair, and a greasy smile he says 
20Lord this must be my destination 
21 
22Cause they told me, when I was younger 
23Boy you're gonna be President 
24But just like everything else those old crazy dreams 
25Just kinda came and went

29Well there's people 
30And more people; what do they know 
31Go to work in some high rise 
32And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico 
33 
34And there's winners, and there's losers 
35But they ain't no big deal 
36Because the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills 
37The pills that kill
