Handleman's Revenge

They named that goddamn kiss-ass Handleman Vice President of Human Resources or something He stood up and made a speech about how We would all have to work even harder now I thought, Harder now, harder at what? I would give up anything to get up and walk out of here, but I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference Making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe You ought to hear the shit that I get from my daughtеr She says that she can't stand the sight of thе car I bought her I ruined her life forever, she don't ride a ragtop Her and her mother spend my money pretty much nonstop They're trying to break me for the sake of the neighborhood They want everybody up and down the street to think we're doing good We're stuck on the corner of sanity and madness Looking them over, I can't see a difference Making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe I didn't even want to study economics My parents made me because they said it would be practical I can't make my kid do a goddamn thing I tell him to That kid's an unrepentant radical He is as unimpressed by these plaques in my cubicle As I am secretly impressed with his ability To look at everything so completely irresponsibly I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe You know now I have to call that little pecker Mr. Handleman Drove home from work as mad as I had ever been And then I nearly jerked that kid out of a drive-thru window He said Will that be everything? I said Hey, what would you know? You're looking at a man about to buy his kid a ragtop What are you driving, a bicycle, you little punk? I'm stuck on the corner of sanity and madness I'm looking them over, I can't see a difference We're making money out of paper, making paper out of trees We're making so much money we can hardly breathe We're making so much money we can hardly breathe We're making so much money we can hardly breathe
