Intro - - - + - Anthony works in the grocery store    +         Savin’ his pennies for someday Mama Leone left a note on the door          +    She said "Sonny move out to the country." Workin’ too hard can give you A heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack You oughta know by now (You oughta know by now) Who needs a house out in Hackensack? +         Is that what you get for your money?   It seems such a waste of time If that’s what it’s all about If that’s movin’ up then I’m movin’ out.   Sergeant O’Leary is walkin’ the beat       + At night he becomes a bartender He works at Mister Cacciatore’s down on Sullivan Street + Across from the medical center He’s tradin’ in his Chevy for a Cadillac You oughta know by now (You oughta know by now) And if he can’t drive with a broken back +     At least he can polish the fenders   It seems such a waste of time If that’s what it’s all about If that’s movin’ up then I’m movin’ out.   You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mind You oughta know by now You can pay Uncle Sam with overtime +       Is that all you get for your money?   If that’s what you have in mind If that’s what you’re all about Good luck movin’ up cos I’m movin’ out.

La chanson évoque le quotidien d'un homme, Anthony, qui travaille dur dans l'épicerie tout en économisant pour un avenir meilleur. Sa mère lui conseille de quitter la ville pour se rapprocher de la nature, mais il commence à se demander si le coût de la vie moderne en vaut réellement la peine. En témoignant des soucis de ses collègues, comme le sergent O’Leary qui se débat avec ses obligations, il remet en question l'idée que réussir signifie simplement avoir des possessions matérielles. Au fond, il aspire à un sens plus profond de l'existence, loin des attentes sociales. La chanson soulève les doutes et la désillusion face à une vie axée uniquement sur le travail et le statut.
