I Want to be a Debutante

I worried all Sunday      
it's supposed to be fun-day        
about this coming Monday        
psyching myself up        
just to get the fuck up            
groggy and bleary eyed        
swimming against the tide        
on my third cup of coffee        
that tastes like bitter toffee        
it's the start of a new day        
but I don't need the pay        
lets just go out and play        
yes sir, no ma'am        
work is just such a scam        
pull your finger from the dam        
our money's just on loan        
the government takes all we own        
I think I'll go work for myself        
putting my life on a shelf        
working any eighty hours I want        
My freedom I would flaunt        
if I had any time left to taunt        
I want to be a debutante        
hanging out in Martha's vineyard        
it really doesn't look that hard        
surrounded by my body guards        
it's the start of a brand new day        
lets just go out and play        
sailing on the bay
