lyrics

my family and my old friends
all their bets are placed
when iʼll be coming home
iʼm making up a wage
who cares about that anyways?
my baby, she even makes me pay

sheʼs watching tv on a tiny screen
while iʼm working all night for us
and she canʼt be pleased
but she tries not to think too much
is it ever enough?
now weʼre calling it love

all i ever wanted was a bed to sleep
no more modern frivolities
if i take what i was sent for
can i go back to the northeast?
back where marjorie
i know sheʼs waiting for me

sheʼs watching tv on a tiny screen
while iʼm working all night for us
and she canʼt be pleased
but sheʼs learned not to think too much
is it ever enough?
now weʼre calling it love

i document my dreams
on a tiny screen
while iʼm working all night for us
and iʼm rarely pleased
but i try not to think too much
is it ever enough?
itʼs never enough
