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
