He lives in a world of penthouses uptown,Of offices with a view,Of the perfect family and the perfect job,He is the man everyone wants to be.And he lives in a world of cigarette breaks,Of sleepless nights,Of affairs and lies.He is the man who sleeps with his secretaries,Who doesn't recognize his kids,Who goes home to a bar.He is numb to his own pain,Scared of his own fears,Repulsed by his own face.He is the man society has created,And by his own hand will he be undone.I've just started posting here, so a lot of this stuff is kind of old, but give me any feedback you can!
