By the time you're grown and use your brain Your childhood dreams will fade away You learn to argue, learn to fight And get a little colder every day When you get married for the second time You're taking in a lawyer to protect your dime For liberation, that's the price you pay Another thing you pay for along the line Is the shrink to keep you sane While you go out of your mind That's life in the money making game . . We get our kicks from Russian Roulette Oh, Oh it's a deadly duet There ain't no tricks in Russian Roulette You lose from time to time But how we love the thrills you can get When playing Russian Roulette It's a game for husband and wife What do you want from life The midlife-crisis starting age Is getting younger by the day A nervous breakdown at twenty five You need success along your way A write-off penthouse on the seventh floor The hide-away for weekends you can't stand anymore You need to rest yourself a while Deduct your car, deduct your sex Just get a receipt for your income tax Deductability is the name of the “How-to-get-rich-and-stay-that-way” game We get our kicks from...
