Lyrics
TAILORED GRAY SUIT
I'm an individual like all of the rest
I try to make my way, try to do my best.
That's me there in the gray suit and vest
and when I walk down the street, 
I'm like all of the rest.
I've had no trouble with indecision
since I found a financial religion
and I'm going to buy a new condominium
by sometime in the next millennium.
CHORUS
I live in a tailored gray suit
I'm a knight in armor in my tailored gray suit
I wear it to work and I make it pay;
you don't make a profit if you give it away
in a tailored gray suit.
I live in a tailored gray suit
I live in a tailored gray suit
I live in it.
I'm an individual with a tie and a smile
I give one-hundred and ten, go the extra mile,
got skills to burn and a personal style,
just a work-a-holic or career-o-phile?
My cubicle's gray, so I blend right in;
I'm a knight in armor and the tower's djin
watching interviews to see where I've been
with time for toil but none for sin (chorus)
I'm an individual, what can I say?
You don't make a profit when you give it away.
I'm the one on the phone in a nice cafe,
a life repurposed just to make it pay.
My tailored gray suit is getting me down.
I'm a working stiff, not a corporate clown;
I'll spend the best of my years just laying around
on to a final appointment under the ground (chorus)

Back in my early 20s, I was practicing bass three hours a day, playing in a band with a drummer who practiced six hours a day and a guitarist who was one the "up and coming" lead guitar players of my home town. Plus, I was writing a song every day. I... [see more]
