lyrics

Gold watches and designer clothes
A syndicated TV show
Silver spoon and drink in hand
A rented room in the promised land

Fitted suits head home from work
Spend their weekends getting their money’s worth
Stranded out here on the avenue
What a drag it is to catch a glimpse of you

Idle hands, a broken heart
A breakdown, a brand new start
it’s the modern world
And there’s nothing you can do
You got the Madison Avenue Blues

Subway cars and Amtrak trains
Portfolios of growing pains
Diversified but still the same
Ain’t it funny how we never change

I was just a kid when the towers fell
Yeah, life goes on, it’s just as well
Every year they read the names
Then it’s back to work, there’s money to be made

Idle hands, a broken heart
A breakdown, a brand new start
it’s the modern world
And there’s nothing you can do
You got the Madison Avenue Blues
