about

How much time is spent in the pursuit of money? I was spending every waking hour making money or trying to make money in my teens and 20s. I hand reservations about it either. Just about everyone I knew was chasing the same monkey. I don't know anyone who says they are done making money because we have decided as a collective social animal, that everyone follow rules dictating money as the most important commodity needed for existence. So much so that most will trade the time allotted to them here on Earth for just enough money needed for food, clothes. health, and housing. I do not understand the financial markets. I have no idea what "Dow" means. If you ask me I'll tell you it is a tag line for Homer Simpson's illegitimate little brother, Gomer Simpson. Now that money is no longer based on a gold standard there is nothing tangible to support it's value that I know of. And again, I claim to know nothing. All I know is people trade away what might have been fulfilling, creative, lives to never have enough and feel less than because of it.

lyrics

Say what you plan to do today
You're stuck at work
Well that's okay

Chorus
What's done is done when done
And the work is never done
In a job like the one you traded
All the time you traded away
You traded away you traded away
All the time you traded away
You traded away you traded  away

Playing cards on Friday
With the boys sitting' around the table
Beer flows from the bottle to the glass -
You peel the label
Watch the paper pile up and you place it near your cup
Wetting your lip with every sip
Trying to dry the spirit up but...

Chorus

The father's, father's, son
Came to this town and had a son
A family line assembled to live off the assembly line
For each new face born to this place
So too a soul was born to stay
And fill the steps as left by those
Who stood there 'till they passed away
