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's 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 live of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things
I'll be dreaming, dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
I'll be dreaming, dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
dreaming dreaming dreaming
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

ill get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house
and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking
late at the bar
See more of your friends than
you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you
and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live
and die this way
