Broke In This Trendy City - YTCracker

I guess I’ve always been

Broke in this damn trendy city

She got her PhD from MIT

Post graduate degree at 23

Mini-genius, precocious, computer hostess

SysAdmin with the mostest

Credentials a plenty

The summa cum laude

It’d be an understatement to say she was well endowed

From a small town in the Mid West

Got an invitation from the Bay

Work with the best from a startup (startup)

Destined for future stardom

She walked in the door and her eyes lit up

She was dressed to impress

But the pres' was in a J. Crew sweater vest, pair of Birkenstocks

He said «Come along let me show you the ropes

Let me tell you how it goes over here on the coast

VC money rains from the sky, rules don’t apply to us

The gwop that we spend is nuts

Here’s your office in the corner, work when you wish

When we do the IPO, we’ll be swimming like fish

Like McDucking the money make all of us rich

Or when Google buy us out for a billionish

So she headed to the realtor, bought herself a flat

Bought herself a Benz and a Louis V welcome mat

Monogram with the hologram TV

All of that, before her first check even cashed

Everybody wants to be

I guess I’ve always been

Broke in this damn trendy city

Called her mom, told her «Man I hit the big time!»

Told her on the phone student loans would be gone

Said goodbye, shut her eyes, so excited

Dreamed overnight it would be

Everything that she dreamed of

Bright and early in the office

Eager to start this new life, Web 2.0 life, J. Crew life

Walked in the door and the sombre looks

'cos she saw a couple movers stacking books

The pres was in boxes, sobbing softly

Slowly sipping on his Starbucks coffee

Said the investors' checks were late

'cos the economy sucks

And they had to drop the deadweight

Checkmate, put your resume on Monster

Keep the faith, but you gotta understand

There’s more MIT grads in this town than sand

So plan to be broke in this trendy city

Everybody wants to be
