Dual Income Lyrics

Dual Income

No Kids

We're suburban social lepers

We still make love on the weekday nights

And we've never played a game of checkers

While we're reading Stephen King

They're rewinding the Lion King

For the twenty-second time

While we're working the New York Times

They're reciting nursery rhymes

And saving every dime

Dual Income

No Cares

They say we haven't found the answer

But we still make love on the kitchen floor

And she still likes it when I romance her

As the cocktail party rages

They're showing their scrapbook pages

And wallet photographs

While we're grabbing the corporate reigns

They're going to soccer games

And meeting teaching staffs

Dual Income

No Chains

With our wrists tied to the ladder

Climbing a middle-aged mountain side

While our youth begins to scatter

If we ever reach the top

And the passion starts to stop

We'll just find another life

A cheap apartment in the hills

And just enough to pay the bills

Just as long as she's my wife

Dual Income

Two Exemptions

No dependents

No redemption

But still we're putting it up for bids

Dual Income

No Kids
