Less is More & The Oily Rag
it's not all that bad
Living off the smell of an oily rag
I'm having the best fun that I've ever had
Infact I love my oily rag
Time is money and money is time
and you're clever if you've got both in line
If it's only one then I know I'd
Rather time than fancy wine
The last job I was in was in gave me a permanent stitch
All the politics made me quit
Now I don't have much money
Or a saftey net
But how safe is drudgery and the treadmill's endless sweat?
Babe ... baby, how safe is that so called safety net
Babe ... baby, how safe is the endless sweat
Now the next thing that I have to say
Well, it's rather old and cleche
Don't waste your time doing what you hate
Do what you love, it's better than pay
Sometimes less is more, or more or less
Less security, but more progress
Less danger and risk, but more regrets
Sometimes less is more, or more or less
I know we all need a certain amount of money
But too much is never enough in this society
Less is more the only creed I believe
and lord how it has saved me
From endless, pointless shopping sprees
No I do not need retail therapy.. No!
