Tv dinner and tv news Leather jackets and cowboy boots Cut your hair, wear a suit Get an ulcer, eat fast food Keep on running 'cause you're always late Move up the ladder, don't you hesitate (CHORUS) Life's a rollercoaster (x4) Diet coke and plastic meat The latest soap on satellite teevee D.i.v.o.r.c.e. Maybe me, maybe you B.M.W. or a brand new van Drive a Merc or a MercedesBenz (CHORUS) I got news for you You should know there's no use for you People won't feel bad If you should drop dead (CHORUS x2)
