Lyrics
Here it is, another Summer's gone; and I worked it all away; I worked it all away. My family has everything they need; but I work them all away; I work them away. And it's a white collar tragedy...it's my white collar tragedy. My son's in tears; I missed his football game...but I worked it all away; I worked it away. A table for two; the dinner's all been made, but I worked the time away; I worked it away. And it's a white collar tragedy; it's my white collar tragedy. What's wrong with me...and my family? Are they losing me, to all I've gained? Oh, this ladder that I've climbed, it was all for you, put myself aside. You don't appreciate the things I do...for you!
