Lyrics

Life of a worry-cat, sorry-cat blues

Claws hung up on the post, contract's overdue

Through slitted eyes, these papers all seem the same

But kitty cat's still signing his worthless name

Life of a worry-cat, sorry-cat hold on that

Thought that you're small and invisible

Crystal spheres full of stars and no places to run

Just stand there with a gaze irresistible

Worry-cat blues come in living bills

You know your brother in law makes 7 whole figures

Maybe I could get there with a little overtime

As long as we're cracked we're already floating

Sorry cat, worry that I couldn't afford

The lights are flickering out and the roaches are wakened

But we already get it, you're worth so much more

With triple insulation and marble floors

Life of a worry-cat, sorry-cat hold on that

Thought that you're small and invisible

Crystal spheres full of stars and no places to run

Just stand there with a gaze irresistible

Leap with your fullest grace

Away from blocks of enterprise you should've hate

Your fault in the first place

That you didn't spring 'till now, but it's not too late

A rat race game to the end, in the end where glory yells and calls

You'll make it through to the end, in the end where nothing matters at all

Life of a poppy-cat, candy-cat blues

Wish I took the chance but I hadn't nothing to lose

Myself in minty dried pastures and mountains of booze

The world could nuke itself and make for such a spirited view

Life of a worry-cat, sorry-cat finding plateaus

In your work unacceptable

Performance reviews identically say

That your podium in life is replaceable

Life of the worry-cat, copy-cat fight for the

Fact that you're worth more than a decimal

Complain about grey numbers on a gridded plane

Rose tinted turns the green into rich champange

Life of a worry-cat, copy-cat blues

Chain up your tie and take abuse

'Cuz even if he wanted to roar

For a raise he didn't think he deserved it before
