Side of the Road

White stone mansion at the top of a hill Little boy in a blazer sitting on the window sill Staring down at the snow at the side of the road He goes off to school where he can coast along Daddy's donations will keep his grades strong No need to work too hard like those kids at the side of the road Buy me a college degree and an Ivy MBA Teach me all the dirty tricks that you learned along the way Now I'm out in the world doing anything I please I've got my minions to bring my rivals to their knees They tell me what I want to hear or I leave them at the side of the road I had everything 'til it all came crashing down My day of reckoning will surely come around When I discover that I left my soul at the side of the road
