If fortune favors the young and restless I'll be
wrestling you for a spot at the alter
my unlucky pennies take me farther and farther down this
road of affliction I'm a man on a mission
Lie still, don't let the thrill of life be gone
I was wrong, to make heroes of the fat cats
What can I tell you but for some premonition I knew
love and conviction was not what they're after
that godawful feelin' we've been dyin' for nothin' but some
fuckin' promotion and their market devotion
Lie still, don't let the thrill of life be gone
I was wrong, to make heroes of the fat cats
You paid in money and you paid in devotion with a
love like the ocean and a head full of sympathy
they prayed on your goodness and they ran you through the rat race
and left you in a bad place of enmity and scorn
Lie still, don't let the thrill of life be gone
I was wrong, to make heroes of the fat cats

Fast facts of nature they'll be coming for you boy
you've got no joy you can express, not in this economy
drab thoughts of finding another trade to take you in
as the century begins but, who can afford the fees and I'll
ask you blindly and I'll, ask you kindly
what's there around here for a city boy to do
and I'm getting too old to be so blue
and you're bound to make a killin' if I'm willin' to work for you
Slum towns and business centers are lookin' more the same
it's such a predatory game
guess I'm too high class to know my real stature
when you put my out to pasture I'll be laughing at my checks
that's a sound I hope you sleep to and I'll
tell you weakly and I'll tell you sweetly
fuck all your favors I don't need the very best
and I'll be workin' with the rest of them
the builders and the waiters and the painters and all the rest

Peasant Dreams

Comin' out of a coma of bad old years and good old pals
strip off all that old paint lacquered emblems and wooden dowels
I wanted to be right there when the joke was goin' down
to hound you the way I know how to
oh isn't it good to know what the good guys will do and they won't do
I guess I don't wanna play for your winning team with your head full of steam
I've got my peasant dream
Bleedin' out from a paycheck can be a nice way to spend your time
just getting up from the pavement is such a lofty hill to climb
I wanted to know what gives I thought that life was in my reach
did they teach you to lie when you have to
oh isn't it good to know what the rich like to do when they want to
I guess I don't wanna play for your winning team with your head full of steam
I've got my peasant dream

Indian Paintbrush

Strap into you seat, I heard this is the part that hardest
and I'm no artist can you wait
just half a minute for me
the fast and furious pace makes you wonder where the
road meets the rubber and can you see
the pretty Indian Paintbrush, from the front window
the damn winter months comin' like a bat outa hell
and your health, and your wealth ain't well, well
There's someone out on the step, beggin' a stranger to defend the honor
of his alma mater and he's depressed
with no more energy left, the stranger smiles and says she
can't see the point cause she's too
blessed to be stressed and can you see
the pretty Indian Paintbrush, from the front window
the damn winter months comin' like a bat outa hell
and your health, and your wealth ain't well, well

Wild Ginger flowers grow in the city of Seoul god rest your
Wild Ginger flowers grow in the city of Seoul god rest your
She joined the army though her mother said no please don't go
And there was always some new lesson to know I guess so
Bright marigold blossoms bloom in the middle of June in Alaska
Bright marigold blossoms bloom in the middle of June in Alaska
He died so full of his hometown pride I know so
And there was always some new lesson to know I guess so
