You lived the life; never offend any; played by the rules
Struck the right chords; never was out of tune
Sacrificed every second for his kids and wife
Thought to himself "If I only had more time"

He said "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well it's a problem to resolve...someday"

Commuted daily to his high-tech job
Waited in line patiently line with the rest of the mob
Now a taste of success can forever jade
When the pink slip arrived he'd finally lost his way.

He said "It's a problem that I'll solve
Well it's a problem to resolve...someday"

He abandoned his family
He's by himself.
There's nothing left now
No substance, no wealth.
His whole life was work and business
He could hardly see.

The story of a jaded man who'll never know what could have been
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days
It's all too common these days

Well it's a problem that he'll solve
Well it's a problem he resolved.
