lyrics

step into my office
pour yourself a drink
take a load off of your feet
have a cigar
take a look around you
this could all be yours
it used to not be mine
i used to be poor

call me a sellout if you like
i won't be criticized for what i fell into
call me a sucker, i don't mind
you're on my side
you can't afford to not be
you can't afford to leave

see this chair? it cost more than you made last year
it's not too comfy
but it sure does make a statement
your wardrobe needs updating
your social life needs some upgrading
and i don't hear you complaining
when i say "the drinks are on me, boys!"

step into my office
pour yourself a drink
take a load off of your feet
have a cigar
you know, it ain't so bad
sittin' in the devil's lap
it's the most impressive hardon that you'll ever be a party to

call me a sucker, i don't mind
i won't be blamed for what i've grown accustomed to
i ain't ungrateful
no, i'm just a spiteful bitch
i can't afford to not be
i can't afford to leave
