lyrics

Your self-interest is the bottom line
It seems I was the fool for thinking you’d change your mind.
I’ve crunched the numbers, and I think you’ll find,
You can’t collect that interest once you’ve died.

You were a child like I was when you were young
Scared of all the things you didn’t understand
You were a child like I was when you were young
I hope that I still feel in when it’s gone

Pulled up by bootstraps you inherited
You only had to tiptoe to the top
The myth of your fortune you believe it
Predestined extortion, you won’t stop

You were a child like I was when you were young
Scared of all the things you didn’t understand
You were a child like I was when you were young
I hope that I still feel in when it’s gone
Self-righteous condemnations living off the eagle
You’re a fucking camel, good luck with the needle
Hateful aspersions cast down from atop the steeple
You’re a fucking camel, good luck with the needle

You were a child like I was when you were young
Scared of all the things you didn’t understand
You were a child like I was when you were young
I hope that I still feel in when it’s gone

You were a child like I was when you were young
Scared of all the things you didn’t understand
You were a child like I was when you were young
I hope that I still feel in when it’s gone
I hope that I still feel it, I hope that I still feel it
I hope that I still feel it when it’s gone
