Lyrics
Heaven sent, absent of lament for what they represent
Self-assured, financially secure from the jobs they procure
Filofax: ergonomic to the max,
helps them work out how to pay the least tax
Squash racket made to match the jacket
That costs the months wages of the lower tax brackets
Living, striving, working, buying
Living, striving, working, buying
Dying
Heaven sent, stacked full of lament for what they represent
(for what they represent)
Insecure, nervous to the core, cos they're conditioned to want more
(want more)
And it seems vital to get a job title with its own subtitle
(with its own subtitle)
Find a startup, buy a reusable cup and bottle it up
Living, striving, working, buying
Living, striving, working, buying
Dying
Ha!
Modern yuppies, just like guppies
Swimming round the tank looking for flakes of money
Modern yuppies, eyes like puppies
Chasing their own tails cos they don't feel so lucky
Modern yuppies, just like guppies
Swimming round the tank looking for flakes of money
Modern yuppies, eyes like puppies
Chasing their own tails cos they don't feel so lucky
Living, striving, working, buying
Living, striving, working, buying
Dying
