The Men (US-CA) - I Built My House This Way lyrics

Playing like I made it Wearing silk and gold Drive me to the airport Eating well, I'm told A well achiever, true believer To small-town cries of shame My life astounds, the cynics frown I took my wife, and I moved my life And I built my house this way Made some friends in little cubed office spaces I had to keep up, that was the way Sunday barbecues on fire with property values Rising like smoke away A strong competer, wife mistreater Head in my hands today I walked upon the knives of boredom I bit too much off, the cake was so tough I built my house this way Oh, I built my house this way Little dreams are little dreams And little dreams mean everything Walking bravado, parent of the new generation Keep your kids cool, make them believe That big cars, wet bars, and swimming pools just come along With what you'd love to make me My lust for life lives in a condo The kids have moved away I even cry at stupid commercials And wipe the tears, remember the years I built my house this way Oh, I built my house this way Little dreams are little dreams And little dreams mean everything I built my house this way Oh, I built my house this way
