White Collar Blue

They say follow the money, but the money can't buy love
Well, I disagree 'cause they're looking pretty happy to me
From up here, onstage, got 'em dancing
Dance as long as I play what they want me to
I was Exeter's finest
The square jaw blue eyes can't hide it
But the ten year arrives and I'm out of shine
Just a dreamer, never realized

So if you've outgrown the home that you know
But you can't find a way to another
Make me a toast and come real close
You and I can hold onto each other

And be white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that always puts you back in your place
You try, but you can't erase
The white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that never views you for who you are
The fight to get out is too hard, hard, hard
Oh
It's too hard

They say follow the money, but the money can't buy love
Well, yeah, right how'd he get you on his arm?
High school wild boy, college drop out
Daddy's green covered up all of the fallout
You got hooked on the cache
Your parents split now you're calling him daddy
He'll give you good sex and write you blank checks
And you'll bury the humiliation

So if you've outgrown the home that you know
But you can't find a way to another
Make me a toast and come real close
You and I can hold onto each other

And be white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that always puts you back in your place
You try, but you can't erase
The white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that never views you for who you are
The fight to get out is too hard, hard, hard
Ooh

They say follow the money, but the money can't buy love
Well, I wish that's true then I still might have you
But you're the doctor's daughter
He'll only buy four hours of me singing here in the corner
Those eggs won't last forever
He's got to have an heir for the future employer
So marry the guy from work
And at least the Ketubah will say happy ever after

So if you've outgrown the home that you know
But you can't find a way to another
Make me a toast and come real close
You and I can hold onto each other

And be white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that always puts you back in your place
You try, but you can't erase
The white collar blue
Now we see through
A world that never views you for who you are
The fight to get out is too hard, hard, hard
It's too hard
Ooh
