the sun heats up another working day
and maybe yesterdays time
try to make a little progress
in what's lookin' like a lateral climb
and i've made more money than i did in those days
used to carry a debt of twenty grand
and i've still got nothin'
it's lookin like a lateral climb
says it's freedom that we're fightin' for
for bald face white collar crime
and they leave you stranded
believin' in a lateral climb
the sun heats up another working day
is lookin' more like a dime
it's nothin' but a lateral climb
