Yuppie Days lyricsOn Etched In Blue (1987)
Yuppie Days (John Schumann) Hey, look over there at who the cat’s draggin in, With a Grand Prix driver and a “look-at-me” grin. You know the manager, you don’t have to queue… Because there are your yuppy days, Are you just passing through? You went to Montessori kindy, you’re a Ravenswood girl, Finish school then a trip around the world; Those advertising agencies’ eyes are on you Because these are your yuppies days, are you just passing through? You bought an RX7 because you can’t afford a Porsche, Your brand new man wears a Rolex, of course. At the end of your rainbow is a BMW, These are your Yuppy Days, are you just passing through…. Well it’s one for your money And two for your show Three for the mortgage on your new chateau Four for your attitude, Five for the taste…. These are yuppy days, these are your yuppy days….. You can get into places where others can’t go, With the tags on your rags and the people you know… A little nup and tuck and a nose job too These are your yuppy days, are you just passing through? Pardon my laughter, pardon my mirth, You’re thick between the ears and getting thick around the girth; Those New Right arguments are working on you… These are your yuppy days, are you just passing through? |
