New York Dilemma

by Schmitty - Gemini

In the pursuit of happiness 
And the American dream 
I moved to New York City 
And joined an investment banking team 

But to survive in this city 
You must choose between goals 
Should you give up your 'quality of life' 
To join others who've sold their souls? 

Money isn't everything 
And true love it will never buy 
But it can help repress feelings 
And certainly help get you high 

It's hard to find balance 
When you work 90 hours a week 
Because when you do have free time 
Everyone else is asleep 

So if you think that Wall Street 
Is the place you should be 
Make sure you think twice 
Before you end up like me
