Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Lyrics

When are you gonna come down?
 When are you going to land?
 I should have stayed on the farm
 I should have listened to my old man
 You know you can't hold me forever
 I didn't sign up with you
 I'm not a present for your friends to open
 This boy's too young to be singing the blues
 So goodbye yellow brick road
 Where the dogs of society howl
 You can't plant me in your penthouse
 I'm going back to my plough
 Back to the howling old owl in the woods
 Hunting the horny back toad
 Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
 Beyond the yellow brick road
 What do you think you'll do then
 I bet that'll shoot down your plane
 It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
 To set you on your feet again
 Maybe you'll get a replacement
 There's plenty like me to be found
 Mongrels who ain't got a penny
 Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
 So goodbye yellow brick road
 Where the dogs of society howl
 You can't plant me in your penthouse
 I'm going back to my plough
 Back to the howling old owl in the woods
 Hunting the horny back toad
 Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
 Beyond the yellow brick road
