Lyrics
Some folks settle for less Some folks are not as ambitious as we We won’t settle for so little We wouldn’t be happy with anything less Some folks settle for less Some folks settle for three-bedroom brick homes With fenced yards in nice neighborhoods Some folks settle for crush pile stainmaster carpet And ceramic tile Some folks settle for less Some folks are not as ambitious as we We won’t settle for so little We wouldn’t be happy with anything less Some folks settle for less Some folds settle for big screen DVDs CDs surround sound and satellite Some folks settle for Accords and Camrys And Silverado pick up trucks Some folks settle for less Some folks are not as ambitious as we We won’t settle for so little We wouldn’t be happy with anything less Some folks settle for less That’s why we live in a four-plex apartment With cheap broken tile floors That’s why we watch a nineteen-inch play old cassettes And drive a 76 Corolla Some folks settle for less Some folks are not as ambitious as we We won’t settle for so little We wouldn’t be happy with anything less Some folks settle for less Some folks settle for less Some folks are not as ambitious as we We won’t settle for so little We wouldn’t be happy with anything less Some folks settle for less Some folks settle for less Some folks settle for less
