'They let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter You’re just a step on the bossman’s ladder But you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away In the same boat with a lot of your friends Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in And the tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll your way’ - Dolly Parton, 9 to 5
