This song is about how it costs too much to live in the New York area. What do you have to do to "move up" here? What do you get for your money? A house in Hackensack? A cadillac? - but only after breaking your back working two jobs! Work all kinds of overtime just to give most of it back to the government! Is it worth it? "Moving Out" of the area (out to the country, perhaps) is the answer!
