lyrics

Standing on a beach with my toes in the sand
Soaking up the breeze flowing prose to my hand
The final days of summer are breaking like the waves
On the shore of this island I wish I could stay

Just another day more and I'll be back to that boring
Working dog's life - cheesy office decor
Whorin for the man just to make a few dollars
Blue collar white collar - it's all squalor

It's enough to make you hollar howl at the moon
Every afternoon dreaming of these sand dunes
Papers strewn across the desk like the aftermath of war
Pennies in that pension fund - try to ignore

The uselessness of this existence
Pickin up your pittance once a month just for subsistence
Sitting every friday in the pub drowning your sorrow
Wondering what's the point in getting out of bed tomorrow

Money feed my tummy
Greed and money
Breed more dummies
Funny, how
Money needs more money
breeds more dummies
Who need more money


Borrowing a fortune up to your kneck
In debt for forty years payments in arrears
On a piece of shit house that ain't gonna be yours
Till your burned out, half dead, too tired for anymore

Adventure, you spent yourself, living a lie
The american nightmare exported worldwide
Take pride in your work? your work don't mean shit
Just another dumb slave under the whip

But back to the beach reach for here and now
How can I go back to beating my brow
What happenned to the Tao? what happenned to my dreams?
What happenned to that rage we had against the machine?

My eyeballs gleam, my lips sketch a smile
I lay back on the sand a hundred nautical miles
From the man and his plans to feed us all spam
I'm gonna stay here forever I don't give a damn for

Money I'll feed my tummy
With cheese and honey
I ain't no dummy
I don't need money
I don't need money
I don't need money
