Lyrics
I?ll Never Be Ken Fenyo

This one goes out to all you non-executive type workers
Who?ve had that moment of clarity where you realize
That no matter how hard you try, you?ll never get that corner office
But that?s OK, because you?ve also come to realize
That considering what it takes to get it
You don?t want or need that corner office,
And ain?t that a bitch?
Kenny, Kenny - with your slicked back hair and your smile so confident
Is there any way you could be any more perfect in your present tense?
So young, yet your drive and ambition got me facing this predicament -
I realize that I just don?t have what it takes to be you, my friend
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be a super vice-president
I could day dream, but I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never reach that high up in the government
Used to day dream, now I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
It?s a B. It?s a B. It?s a B.
It?s a great big B with a little i-t-c-h.
Kenny, Kenny ? you?re the soup de? jour and you?re just so elegant
When you speak, everything you say, well, it sounds so eloquent
I do believe that the Company must think you?re heaven sent
Now I see that I just don?t have what it takes to be you, my friend
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be a super vice-president
I could day dream, but I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never reach that high up in the government
Used to day dream, now I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I don?t want it. I don?t want it.
I don?t want to have to try so hard,
And work my life away
You can have it. You can have it.
You can have all your 80-hour workweeks,
Seven (six?) figure salary
I don?t need it. I don?t need it.
I don?t need to have to fly so far; drive so fast
Lie so hard; kiss that ass
Buy that car ? that won?t last
?Cause you end up dead and all that
Anyone remembers was
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be a super vice-president
I could day dream, but I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
I?ll never reach that high up in the government
Used to day dream, now I know
I?ll never be Ken Fenyo
It?s a B. It?s a B. It?s a B.
It?s an all caps, shout out B-I-T-C-H!
