I'm Not 401OK Lyrics

Someday I'll wake up an older man than I am

And put back on my old work attire

Force myself into the car, drive to the office again

When I all I really want is to retire

It's hard to say that I'm too old for this cycle

Even though that I know that it's true

But I my selfish desires like food and shelter

Force my interest in labor to accrue

Maybe I'll live forever, so far so good

But I don't want to work that long or even think that I should

When I look at what I've saved, I just gotta say

That baby, I'm not 401 okay

Screw the grasshopper and the ant cuz I just can't

Ignore five percent of my income

Even if it's gross at the time I just can't pinch every dime

Without feeling financially numb

I'm sure I should be saving for a rainy day

But expenses continue to mount

The only thing that I see emptier than my heart

Is my own bank account

Maybe I'll live forever, so far so good

But I don't want to work that long or even think that I should

When I look at what I've saved, I just gotta say

That baby, I'm not 401 okay

I can invest in this fund, but the feeling's not mutual

It's an accrual world that I can't trust

The wrath of that Roth keeps me I-R-A-wake

Cuz my securities are insecure

Maybe I'll live forever, so far so good

But I don't want to work that long or even think that I should

When I look at what I've saved, I just gotta say

That baby, I'm not 401 okay

Maybe I'll live forever, so far so good

But I don't want to work that long or even think that I should

When I look at what I've saved, I just gotta say

That baby, I'm not 401 okay

Maybe I'll live forever, so far so good

But I don't want to work that long or even think that I should

When I look at what I've saved, I just gotta say

That baby, I'm not 401 okay
