about

musings on meaning.
Written around 2004

lyrics

Some like to dream of movies and money
things that they'd like to be
some laze about in the peaches and honey
what they can pluck from the tree

we kneel before the almighty dollar
like it might set us free
looking back a little farther
and tell me what you see

I know a man, he has a daughter
he's proud as he can be
so focused on her achievements
her heart he cannot see

such a sad situation
so much wasted time
take these precious occasions
and tell me what you find

(Chorus)
It's not a monopoly game we're playing
these should not be lonely choices, made in haste
this is our foundation laying
so sad to see love gone to waste

Some folks have so many possessions
some folks have less than none
very few people ask the question:
where is the shining sun?

around the board like a dog by the collar
pet me and I'll wag my tail
another day, another dollar
will I pass go or go to jail?

Chorus and out
