The Capital of the World

Here I sit next to Nothing
We're just chillin'. Yes
I could get up but
What's the fuss?
      Life is grand.

Here I stand next to Responsibility
We're just doing our job. Sure
I could do more but
That would make me gob.
      Life is full of demands.

Here I fly with Success
We're just investing
I could care less about
Rights and affordable housing.
      Life is bland.

Besides, I'm afraid of fatal heights.
                            Soooooooooo
Here I sit with nothing
                           and
              Life is grand.
