Mountains O' Things

Lyrics

The life I've always wanted
 I guess I'll never have
 I'll be working for somebody else
 Until I'm in my grave
 I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
 And mountains, oh mountains o' things
 ♪
 To have a big expensive car
 Drag my furs on the ground
 And have a maid that I can tell
 To bring me anything
 Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
 I'll revel in their attention
 And mountains, oh, mountains o' things
 ♪
 Sweet lazy life
 Champagne and caviar
 I hope you'll come and find me
 Cause you know who we are
 Those who deserve the best in life
 And know what money's worth
 And those whose sole misfortune
 Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
 Oh they tell me
 There's still time to save my soul they tell me
 Renounce all
 Renounce all those material things you gained by
 Exploiting other human beings
 ♪
 Consume more than you need
 This is the dream
 Make you pauper or make you queen
 I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged
 A grave that's deep and wide enough
 For me and all my mountains o' things
 
 Oh they tell me
 There'a still time to save my soul they tell me
 Renounce all
 Renounce all those material things you gained by
 Exploiting other human beings
 ♪
 Mostly I feel lonely
 ♪
 Good good people are
 Good people are only
 My stepping stones
 It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
 To surround me
 Keep all my enemies away
 Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
 ♪
 The life I've always wanted
 I guess I'll never have
 I'll be working for somebody else
 Until I'm in my grave
 I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
 And mountains, oh mountains o' things
 I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
 ♪
 I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
 ♪
 I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
 ♪
 I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
