it's a fast life

Nowadays they got socks that don't even smell

and restaurants that spin around on tops of their hotels

They got shirts that don't wrinkle and babies that don't cry

And ovens that cook turkeys without batting an eye

It's a fast life ooh mama it's a fast life

You can love your neighbor and shoot your wife

Ooh mama it's a fast life

Yeah the man in the basement is tryin' to sit still

He's got his digital watch and a table full of bills

He's trying to figure it out on his pocket computer

He's got a wife, three kids, and a motor scooter

Well it's a fast life - ooh mama it's a fast life

You can shoot your neighbor and blame it on your wife

Ooh mama it's a fast life

Going faster oh mama it's like ice flying out of the dark

Going faster semi-colon comma and a question mark

You got your man on the street you got your man on the go

You got your liberated woman to keep us all on our toes

You got your kids getting nervous waiting for a sign

While we whiz like a bullet past the end of the line

It's a fast life ooh mama it's a fast life

You can bury your children and marry your wife

Ooh mama it's a fast life

It's a fast life...
