GETTING AHEAD
(Kevin Becker)

1. Catch this rising star his name is Bob
He's rising through the ranks with each new job
And now he's asking for advice
Saying he'll pay any price
An obsession for getting ahead

2. Well he says he'll work that overtime and more
And generate reports "that tell the score"
He says he wants to make the big bucks
Well then he'd better learn to duck
A pre-requisite for getting ahead

3. Well ok, he says, promote me I'm no fool
He wants that house, that car, that swimming pool
But the business cannot wait
And he'll die at fifty-eight
An illusion called getting ahead

4. Well I saved one last thought here for the end
Bob says he loves his family and his friends
But he's always running late
The wife and the kids can wait
Forever, it's a race to get ahead
Forever, it's a race to get ahead
