Wall Street swallowed my dreams,
That dot com stock was not what it seems
Tried to get rich quick, I angered my honey
There’s too much month at the end of our money

Who’s gonna take care of me
I just can’t think too clear, but I know I can see
There’s too much stress and pressure
It wasn’t planned or meant
I’m in Rehearsals For Retirement

At 50, I’m changing careers,
Uprooting my family and all I hold dear
Another bite at the Apple, a jump in the ring
No matter what happens, it still makes me sing...

Who’s gonna take care of me
I just can’t think too clear, but I know I can see
There’s too much stress and pressure
It wasn’t planned or meant
I’m in Rehearsals For Retirement

I’m in a sandwich generation where a buck is not a buck
All we’re eating is inflation, and my family’s out of luck

Who’s gonna take care of me
I just can’t think too clear, but I know I can see
There’s too much stress and pressure
It wasn’t planned or meant
I’m in Rehearsals For Retirement

Who’s gonna take care of me
Who’s gonna take care of me
Who’s gonna take care of me
