Jeff Nich.: Music / Lyrics
Crazy Dollar Dream
One of the few "protest" type songs I've written. Our society is just so obsessed with growth. Even when the growth causes "bubbles" and disaster looms we still look for solutions with more growth. It's a crazy dollar dream.
---------------------------------------------
Got a penny in my pocket, big deal - didley squat
Think I'll take it out and flip it
Heads I'm crazy - tails I'm not
Cause I got a funny, funny, funny feeling
You get to high it's hard to stop
And if we keep pumping up this big, big balloon
sooner or later... POP
Inflation - frustration
It's all about the yeild
Expansion - McMansion
Woops, there goes another feild
It's a crazy, crazy, crazy dollar dream
We've all gone crazy for this American pyramid scheme
Got a penny in my pocket
I'm looking for a fountain, I'm gonna throw it in
Cause common sense (cents) ain't worth much anymore
You wish for riches - you live in sin
And all these voices in my ear then fill my head
They're saying feed the lust
You need more and more and more and more and more
Cause in greed we trust
I've been Bushed - I've been Bama-ed
Forgetting what we've lost
I've been told - I've been sold so much
We're forgetting the true cost
It's just a crazy, crazy, crazy dollar dream
We've all gone crazy for this American pyramid scheme
All you baby boomer consumers
Can't you see
In this cash and carry world so scary
I thought the best things in life were free
It's just a crazy, crazy, crazy dollar dream
yea, we've all gone crazy for this American pyramid scheme
Yea we've all gone crazy for this globalized pyramid scheme
