You could be the big man on the town
Laughing as the clubs are closing down
Count the cash and light and a cigarette
Because you know the night's not over yet
There is a new place where we could go
You might even see a few people that you know down there
His scriptwriter's working over time
Supplying him with those quality lines
Keeps saying that he's doing fine
Gotta make sure that I get mine
Power and money gained through dirty tricks
Corporate smiles and dirty politics
Am I jealous of you are you jealous of me?
Quick make sure the others do not see
They're all acting like they're in a school
You just keep on playing like you're Mr. Cool
His scriptwriter's working over time
Supplying him with those quality lines
Keeps saying that he's doing fine
Gotta make sure that I get mine
There is not a moral to my tale
Some were born to succeed some born to fail
Others just obey with faces pale
Others find a new breeze and set sail
But I better move along for now
Because the words I say might trouble you anyhow
His scriptwriter's working over time
Supplying him with those quality lines
Keeps saying that he's doing fine
Gotta make sure that I get mine
