Upstart

Upstart - Queens Club

Hard working man

He's got his hopes set high

The city pays him

So the rich don't cry his

Practice of settlement

Will keep their pockets full but

There in the end

He never got used to it

Sometimes I feel like

I wanna die

It's starting up

I'm sure that I'll get used

To anything but this

And all the wait and see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide and seek

My mother taught me not to cheat

Oh would you shut him up

Oh would you please shut up

'Cause I'm starting up

Upstart you know I'm down

For anything I've missed

Now it's starting to get old

And he's getting pretty tired

Only living his life on the sunny side

He's got a real sweet lady

Gonna soon make her his wife

But this money making mindset

Has put a thorn in his side you know

Sometimes I feel like

I'm gonna cry

It's starting up

Not sure that

I'll get used to anything like this

And all the wait and see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide and seek

My brothers taught me how to cheat

Oh did I

Oh would you shut him up

Oh would you please shut up

'Cause I'm starting up

Upstart you know I'm down

For anything I've missed

Whoa-oh would you shut him up

Oh would you please shut up

'Cause I'm starting up

Upstart you know I'm down

For anything I've missed

He says "I miss those days

When the going was easy

Got a soda in my hand

And my pocketbook's empty"

Says "I wanna go to heaven

But I ain't in a hurry

Love the land and all we fools

And know that God is my witness"

Sometimes I feel

I can't get started up

Left my heart in my stomach

So I feel ill everyday

The wait and see's

They never really came to me

Should I hide and seek

My brothers taught me

How to cheat

We are the fools

And we're running this town

So let's listen to Bob Dylan

And watch the walls falling down

Right now

Oh would you shut him up

Oh would you please shut up

'Cause I'm starting up

Upstart you know I'm down

For anything I've missed

Right now

Oh would you shut him up

Oh would you please shut up

'Cause I'm starting up

Upstart you know I'm down

For anything I've missed

Yeah
