Clock in at the office and pick up the phone now
The boss found a target and throws me a bone so, I’ll bite
An octogenarian living alone in the suburbs outside of Washington
There’s no compensation for no execution
I’ve written a script unlike ones I’ve been using so far
Told you your grandson has been in a car wreck
Got the info to your bank account
Live, laugh, and love then you die
You caught a hook in the eye
Hey, hey, watch me name you my price
Like slide me the Pulitzer prize, ’cause I coaxed tears from your eyes
It’s just acting you know and besides
I’ve got to make a living some way
Picked up the phone and we made a connection
Tell you were elderly picked my direction
And g#dd#mned if it didn’t work well I might be a genius
But we will never know if
I do this forever to keep making ends meet
Destined for greater and “Be all you can be” they say
This is my theater your landline my stage now
Somebody cut the spotlight
Live, laugh, and love then you die
You caught a hook in the eye
Hey, hey, watch me name you my price
Like slide me the Pulitzer prize, ’cause I coaxed tears from your eyes
It’s just acting you know and besides
I’ve got to make a living some way
