This is the Life

(Words and Music By Andy Hill)

Big big city, small mind
He got your best interests at heart
All of the time
He got loud opinions, he got good advice
On every subject there is
'Cause he never thinks twice.
He's fiscally fit for when flattery fails
He can't be embarassed
'Cause of the thought it entails
Oh, his is the life
Oh, this is the life
He got a lot of books about lots of things
He got books about the authors
Who wrote the books about the things
They tell him what to say
They tell him how to dress up
Teach him money talks
'Round here it don't ever shut up
He got a billboard in the city
He's a household word
For enquiring minds who'd rather die than be cured
Oh, his is the life
Oh, this is the life
His product ain't worth nothin'
But you can bet it'll sell
This'd all be funny If it were somebody else
I feel like a clown left behind
When the circus is gone
I got twelve presets on my radio
And I can't find one good song
Just twelve happy voices tellin' me to be glad
The only laughter I hear
Is the sound of me bein' had
Oh, is this the life?
Oh, this is the life.
