The Lyrics
Once I had a dot-com, what a whiz,
Dizzy heights I did climb,
Then they wanted profits, how cruel life is,
Brother can you spare a paradigm?
When I was nineteen Wall Street did fawn,
How their praises did chime,
Now 25, my best days are gone,
Brother can you spare a paradigm?
Once I was aboard a rocket ship
That was heading to the moon,
Now I'd like to go home but my mom says
That she just rented my room.
Once I stood way out above the mob,
I guess success was a crime,
It looks like I'll have to get a job,
Brother can you spare a paradigm?
