YTCracker - Broke In This Trendy City

Текст песни

I guess I’ve always been
Broke in this damn trendy city
She got her PhD from MIT
Post graduate degree at 23
Mini-genius, precocious, computer hostess
SysAdmin with the mostest
Credentials a plenty
The summa cum laude
It’d be an understatement to say she was well endowed
From a small town in the Mid West
Got an invitation from the Bay
Work with the best from a startup (startup)
Destined for future stardom
She walked in the door and her eyes lit up
She was dressed to impress
But the pres' was in a J. Crew sweater vest, pair of Birkenstocks
He said «Come along let me show you the ropes
Let me tell you how it goes over here on the coast
VC money rains from the sky, rules don’t apply to us
The gwop that we spend is nuts
Here’s your office in the corner, work when you wish
When we do the IPO, we’ll be swimming like fish
Like McDucking the money make all of us rich
Or when Google buy us out for a billionish
So she headed to the realtor, bought herself a flat
Bought herself a Benz and a Louis V welcome mat
Monogram with the hologram TV
All of that, before her first check even cashed
Everybody wants to be
Appshuwadwaddy
Broke in this damn trendy city
Appshuwadwaddy (x 3)
I guess I’ve always been
Broke in this damn trendy city
Called her mom, told her «Man I hit the big time!»
Told her on the phone student loans would be gone
Said goodbye, shut her eyes, so excited
Dreamed overnight it would be
Everything that she dreamed of
Bright and early in the office
Eager to start this new life, Web 2.0 life, J. Crew life
Walked in the door and the sombre looks
'cos she saw a couple movers stacking books
The pres was in boxes, sobbing softly
Slowly sipping on his Starbucks coffee
Said the investors' checks were late
'cos the economy sucks
And they had to drop the deadweight
Checkmate, put your resume on Monster
Keep the faith, but you gotta understand
There’s more MIT grads in this town than sand
So plan to be broke in this trendy city
Everybody wants to be
Appshuwadwaddy
Broke in this damn trendy city
Appshuwadwaddy (x 3)
I guess I’ve always been
Broke in this damn trendy city
Everybody wants to be broke (x 3)
Broke up in this trendy city
Everybody wants to be broke
Everybody’s going broke
Everybody wants to be broke
Broke up in this trendy city
Everybody wants to be
Appshuwadwaddy
Broke in this damn trendy city
Appshuwadwaddy (x 5)
I guess I’ve always been
Broke in this damn trendy city
