LYRICS- Freeway - Aimee Mann (the time in parenthesis )
(:09)
You've got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
The road to Orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway
(:28)
Where everyone’s a doctor or a specialist in retail
(:38)
They’ll sell you all the speed you want if you can take the blackmail
(:48)
You know it
I know it
Why don’t you
Just show it
(:57)
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
You got a lot of money but you can't afford the freeway
(1:17)
You've got a lot of money but you cannot get your bills paid
(1:26)
The sacrifice is worth it just to hang around the arcade
(1:36)
You found yourself a prophet but you left him on the boardwalk
(1:46)
Another chocolate Easter bunny, hollowed out by your talk
(1:56)
You know it
I know it
Why don’t you
Just show it
(2:05)
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
(2:25)
And everything I do is wrong…
but at least I’m hanging on
(2:34)
You got a lot of money that you can’t afford
You got a lot of money that you can’t afford
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
(2:53)
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford the freeway
(3:03)
You got a lot of money but you can’t afford
(3:12)
You got a lot of money but you
(3:16)
Can’t afford
