Is this the real world, A ticking time bomb? Or a clock, As I hope I won't explode. In my career I need to rise, Be successful and stable with an iron fist At the same time I need to find a husband but I'm not even meeting people Have kids young so I'm an active grandmother, But then, what about my job? Everyone is having children older these days, They say, But what about my biologicial countdown timer? A woman called me a 'lady' the other day, And my friends are getting married. Is life a checklist? If so, maybe the world needs to rethink.

Life's Checklist
Is this the real world, A ticking time bomb? Or a clock, As I hope I won't explode. In my career I need to rise, Be successful and stable with an iron fist At the same time I need to find a husband but I'm not even meeting people Have kids young so I'm an active grandmother, But then, what about my job? Everyone is having children older these days, They say, But what about my biologicial countdown timer? A woman called me a 'lady' the other day, And my friends are getting married. Is life a checklist? If so, maybe the world needs to rethink.
