Yes, but this is the life
Her afternoon activity is living through the T.V.
His only friend is his wife
They’re talking about the kitchen sink
For the past two days it continues to clog
They’re complaining about the neighbors
And their loud, over-sized dog
Yes, but this is the life
For some this is how it will be
Yes, but this is the life
But not the life for me
See the eccentric millionaire being driven to his secluded mansion
He thinks he has all a man could own
He doesn't have neighbors with whom he can talk
And is too scared to pick up the phone
Overlook the yard that overlooks the mountains
Yes, but this is the life
Where is the mail person? Where is the paperboy?
Where is the loving husband or wife?
Yes, but this is the life
For some this is how it will be
Yes, but this is the life
But not the life for me
See the loving couple living in their apartment
Talking about buying a used car
Tonight they’re going out again in a great big group of ten
Yes, but how lucky they are.
