Standing ovation, baby

Standing ovation, darlin’

Standing ovation, honey
This is what I’m tellin’ you

5 a.m. calls
and 10 p.m. meals
You’re livin’ in the office try’n to close more deals
Climbin’ up that ladder of corporate greed, it ain’t easy
You grovel for
your boss, dyin’ to please,
You’re coveting that title of E.V.P.
If you stop long enough to look at your life, you’ll get queasy

Flashy
cars and haute cuisine
Lookin’ like you’ve stepped from a magazine
Chasin’ a ride to the top, in a glass elevator
These
are the things that are precious to you
A value structure that’s beyond askew
But there’s somethin’ you’re gonna find out -- sooner or later

(There
won’t be a…)
Standing ovation, baby
Greetin’ you when you get home
(You won’t get a…)
Standing ovation, darlin’
For makin’ your world so alone
(There won’t be a…)
Standing ovation, honey
Comin’ anytime today
(Don’t wait for a…)
Standing ovation, baby
For livin’ in your new-fashioned way

Keep
your mouth shut and do what you’re told
Speakin’ your mind would be way too bold
The safest way to options is to offer no resistance
Sellin’
your soul for a nickel at a time
Worried that the Big Boys think you’re past your prime
But what you sacrifice won’t keep those dogs at a distance
|
|
Your
need for approval is like a disease
A ravenous beast that you’ll never appease
And you can’t see that you are its prime instigator
This
is what you’ve chosen as your value core
The American way of always needin’ more
But there’s somethin’ you’re gonna find out -- sooner or later
