LYRICS - Yuppie

Song
6-4-03
By Emma Johnson

LYRICS:

I used to pride myself for never
working for a corporation.
But now the bills are adding up
and I’m acting out of desperation.
Twenty-two years old but now
things are going to change.
I’m forced to do what I don’t wanna do,
but it’s no use to complain. 

I’m just afraid it’ll get to me
and I won’t know who I am anymore.
What used to be so foreign to me
now surrounds me every day.
Then someone asks me what do you stand for/
and I don’t know what to say.

I am a yuppie now.
Don’t ask me how
It came to be.
I am no longer me.
