Upstart

I don’t like that the upstart’s so much better
Approaches sounding very avant-garde
I don’t like how he taunts my selfish methods
I don’t like how he slims my wallet down
Welcome to my world of unjust fights
Where my money is divine
I never saw a note
I didn’t fall in love with
At first sight
I do not like my universal loathing
I don’t know why you are not bowing down
Is it that I see the world in greenbacks?
Or that I only think in terms of pounds?
Welcome to my world of unjust fights
Where my money is divine
I never saw a note
I didn’t fall in love with
At first sight
Oh, what more to life is there
Than the number on your bottom line?
Oh how I love to watch it growing bigger over time
And all I have to do is don my ol’ gold-plated blinders
And I can see the world in shades of lustrous silver dollars
Welcome to my world, to modern times
All is under my oversight
I never hesitate
I’ve never feared to take
What isn’t mine

The City

I've been around for a while, son I've seen how the disease spreads There once were people here
But now the place is dead
And it's a crying shame
That nothing will ever change
I've been saying that for 20 years and it's still the same
I watch the city
It's burning down around me
The memories fade and the green surrounds me
The city that bleeds from too many arteries
But what can anyone do, really?
I've been around for a while, son
I ain't seen nothin' like this
Pull the plug out
Drain the oasis
And it's a crying shame
That time brings such decay
I've been watching it for 20 years, we'll never be the same
I watch the city
It's burning down around me
The memories fade and the green surrounds me
The city that bleeds from too many arteries
But what can anyone do, really?
And it's a crying shame
That nothing will ever change
I've been saying that for 20 years and it's still the same

Taken Up

So long now, so many years ago
I can barely remember
A young boy, climbing Mount Olympus
In the face of stormy weather
He stood upon the summit
So high he couldn’t see the ground
The clouds began to clear
The world kept spinning round
Everything will be okay
We are all so proud of you
It’s gonna be a beautiful day
I promise we’ll pull through
And now the sky is falling in
And I’m idle and in danger of being hit
A permanent retreat
Are you haunting me?
Fast forward, so many years gone
The boy has become a man
And tumbled from the mountain
While we all had turned our backs
We noticed, tried to save him
It was too little and to late
We dumbly watched him
As he fell to meet his fate
Everything will be okay
We are all so proud of you
It’s gonna be a beautiful day
I promise we’ll pull through
And now the sky is falling in
And I’m idle and in danger of being hit
A permanent retreat
Are you haunting me?
Where is he? How far did he fall?
Where is he? Nobody knows at all
Everything would be okay
If only I could control myself
Everything would be okay
If only I was good enough
And now the sky is falling in
But it’s because I’ve got a hammer and I’m taking swings
Do you make a difference or is it only me?

Carefree Avenue

Walking down my carefree avenue
Got no idea where I’m going to
Gonna keep on coasting down the line
Taking it easy
Never read a paper in my life
I give a bad name to Generation Y
Think I want the whole world to be mine
Right on a string
I’m so scared to feel a little pain
That I’ve not moved from my chair in too many days
I’m okay as long as every day
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
Walking down my carefree avenue
Got no idea what I’m gonna do
With stubborn pride I walk the line
And never stray
Never thought about the world before
Never cared about nothing past my door
Carry me there, I’ll make it right to the end of days
I’m so scared to feel a little pain
That I’ve not moved from my chair in too many days
I’m okay as long as every day
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same!
I’m so scared
That I don’t care
I’m so scared
No I don’t care, don’t care
