Simple As That

You go to work, work hard all day

At the end of the week, you collect your pay

That's just where it's at

It's as simple as that

You pay your bills the best that you can

But the rising cost sure hurts a family man

While the rich man gets fat

it's as simple as that

And the money goes so fast it ain't funny

Your mind's made up to get that house on the hill

But you just don't know if you ever will

Because you can't get the cash

It's as simple as that

Cause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan

Without putting a morgage on all that you own

A tit for a tat

It's a simple as that

And the money goes so fast it ain't funny

Before you know it the kids are all grown

And married off with kids of their own

And it's all in the past

It's as simple as that

You've reached the autumn of your life

And all that's left is you and your wife

And a dog and a cat

It's as simple as that

And the money goes so fast it ain't funny
