Tv dinner and tv news
Leather jackets and cowboy boots
Cut your hair, wear a suit
Get an ulcer, eat fast food
Keep on running 'cause you're always late
Move up the ladder, don't you hesitate

(CHORUS) Life's a rollercoaster (x4)

Diet coke and plastic meat
The latest soap on satellite teevee
D.i.v.o.r.c.e.
Maybe me, maybe you
B.M.W. or a brand new van
Drive a Merc or a MercedesBenz

(CHORUS)

I got news for you
You should know there's no use for you
People won't feel bad
If you should drop dead

(CHORUS
