Well, I don't know Death of a Salesman...but maybe this Billy Joel's "Vienna" will help.
Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day
that's the first verse..you get an idea...sort of. I guess you should look at the rest of the song to see if any of it actually fits in to what you need.
Good luck.
