Brain Drain

I'm working too late I'm working too hard
I gotta buy a house I gotta fix my car
Interest is up the dollar is down
The Japanese are buying up my whole town

I'm looking at twenty to life on the job
I'm living with a loser who thinks I'm a slob
My life is a soap that's been on too long
I'd like to change the channel but can't find the knob

I got a brain drain (brain drain)
With a psychic pain
I got a brain drain brain drain yeah
With an emotional sprain

Friends stand me up enemies put me down
My boyfriend gives me the runaround
The IRS is knocking on my front door
I gotta give till it hurts then give a little more

My peaceful sleep is interrupted by screams
My conscience strangles me in my dreams
When I wake I look like I been hit by a truck
I smash the mirror it improves my luck

I got a brain drain (brain drain)
With a psychic pain
