lyrics

Meant to be for my Retirement

Verse 1
The bigger the lie
The harder the fall
Encouraged to buy on a whim
And make a tentative call

To a man he knew well
A guy from back home
The ball of crystal he held
Was really made out of chrome

Chorus
Because the corporation was meant to be, it was meant to be
Because the operation was not what I thought it was for so long (it was)
Meant to be for my retirement now it’s gone

Lead

Bridge
Seven years of savings siphoned off into the clouds
The seven years till tribulation countdown’s starting now!

Verse 2
So now I’m starting again
Back at square no. 1
And it’s hard to defend what I did
But I was under the gun

To break out in style
With poise and aplomb
I won’t forget in a while
How it cost me a bomb

Chorus
Because the corporation was meant to be, it was meant to be
Because the operation was not what I thought it was for so long (it was)
Meant to be for my retirement - it was meant to be for
Meant to be for my retirement - it was meant to be for
Meant to be for my retirement now it’s gone
